Roll Me Over

the 12-bolt uses a crush sleeve to set pinion preload. Once "crushed" you simply can't just tighten it more. You need to get a new crush sleeve and start over.

I don't recall what the preload spec is off the top of my head, but keep in mind, with used bearings it will be less than if you were replacing them with new ones.
