I have all winter to do this
The seal will be minimal . So just set it like you did in the pattern checks ( 15 to 20) and you will still be with in the specs and be fine .

Also go real slow when you get the slack out of the bearings . It takes very little to go over crushing the sleeve .

Sounds like you are doing fine .
