Re: 10 bolt rebuild questions
I am always the one to caution people about messing with things that affect the set-up of the gears....but I'm with Bigdav160 on this one.
You can change a pinion seal w/o hurting anything.
First of all, the "rotating torque"spec is for "when new", meaning freshly installed. You can actually change the contact pattern by tightening your "used" bearings to that point.
The nice thing about this is that it takes an incredible amount of force to crush the sleeve, more than you would apply when reinstalling the yoke.
I would use a new nut and torque it to 100-125 ftlbs and call it good.
Of course use some common sense here. You are doing this "by hand", so stop if anything "feels different".

Learn from the mistakes of others, you won't live long enough to make them all yourself...
Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....
The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
