ok as far as the crush sleve is concerned.... i know it takes a lot of force to crush it... 200 or so ft lbs.. while im cranking on it should the pinion gear be able to free spin... mine is bound up somewhere... my guess is either the races arnt prssed in far enough but cranking on that bolt should line everything up right??? after i getthe crush sleve crushed do i remove everything and re-install with the new pinion bolt and torque it to 8 in lbs.... any help would be greatly apriciated(spelled that wrong)

thakyou

You do know you're going to need to make sure the gears are aligned properly right? Also the pinion is supposed to have something like 19 ft-lb of tortional resistance once the crush sleeve is in properly. Not 100% on that I'd have to look it up.
