Hey Cap'n,
It was quite an ordeal getting 200 lbs on my torque wrench. I put an extension on it but it was a grunt. I will do as you say and check it in a while. The hub definitely had a groove warn into it. I used some emery cloth to clean the surface as best I could. I will consider ordering a new hub. Going back in is a breeze now that I know what I am facing. I had a prevalent leak and the old seal was very brittle. It has not weeped since I replaced it but I am going to give it the eagle eye. Thanks again for your help, in repayment I will do my best to pass your advice to the next person who needs it.
