No FSM has PN's. Your parts house will have that info. The PN will change from seal maker to seal maker.
Avoid 'Crown' at all costs.
You may need a gear puller for that yoke on the pinion.
Mark the p'nut's position on the pinion shaft and retighten to the mark, if not just a 'hair' past it. Use locktite on the p'nut.

Actual part numbers, probably not. The best way to go about doing this it is to visit a major parts supplier on the internet. seals are relatively easy to find. The problem I experience is this. Not all seals are the same, sure they will all fit. Some are single lipped, some are double, some have no sealing product around the outer edge, some are coated, some are green, some are red. What is best, I don't really know if it makes much of a difference.

Double lip seal is best for the pinion.
BTW: As per my FSM, MR-252 the pinion nut torque is 210ft/lbs.
