[QUOTE="ibleedblue65, post: 12033245, member: 137757"] Personally I wouldn't attempt replacing a pinion seal without doing the crush sleave as well. The crush sleeve sets the bearing preload as stated and once it is crushed once, I don't see how you could ever get the preload and pinion depth right again. Counting threads is a bad idea imo. It may work sometimes but it doesn't make it the right way to do it. You are look ing for bearing preload which is measured in turning torque. Counting threads does nothing to assure you got it right. And yes I have set up a lot of 8.8"s in a professional performance shop. [/QUOTE]
