<strong>red rock, the way you say it,it does not seem
that the backlash does not change. does this mean
that the pinion is pressed tight inside towards
the front? I thought the pinion would move/lossen
if the nut is removed. thanx</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helv, Helvetica, Sans">No nothing changes when you remove the nut, the nut only holds on the companion flange and the nut is staked so it doen't come loose / off.

When I changed my first seal, I thought the same thing.</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helv, Helvetica, Sans">actually it does change..it messes with the way your pinion is contacting the ring gear..get it too tight and your only contacting the tips of your ring gear.too loose and your contacting back farther on the ring gear <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> and if he is running a regular crush sleeve ( not the solid sleeve) he is taking a chance on crushing that little tin sleeve more
