Rear Pinion Seal

[Slow Six]

Rear pinion seal is leaking again. I'm thinking I should get a new yoke this time. Question for those who work on these. Can I just mark the nut position, change seal and install new yoke and tighten pack up to mark plus slightly more or should I use a new crush sleeve and do the rolling torque process. I am a long ways from a shop I can trust so I am thinking of doing this myself but I don't want to create more problems by doing it wrong. The vent tube is clean.

Just put the new yoke and nut on. The yoke does not affect the preload on the bearing and it takes over 600ft-lbs to crush the sleave further. Tighten it up to 150 ft -lbs and go on your way.
