About 7 years ago I was able to replace my PDS bearing, U joints and shift shaft seal etc. with the info I obtained from this forum and my Seloc book. Everything went almost exactly as it should have with the exception of the rolling torque value setting. Although it hasn't caused a problem in 400 hrs., now that it's time (or past time) to do it all again I want to do it right this time. I remember taking a torque reading before taking the double bearing box apart so I would have a reference. Can't remember what the reading was but it was within specs. but on the low side. I tried to increase the rolling torque value slightly when I put it back together but it would not change no matter how much I tightened the torx/allen (?) screw. Since it was still within specs. I put it back together and have had no problems. Question - if the same thing happens this time should I replace the crush sleeve even if the RTV is within specs. and if so can it be done without a press ?
