That's why it is so import not to overcrush the sleee.

Why would you want to change the crush ? Did the pinion nut have too much load on the bearing???

On the oil return, you can just hash it at 45 degrees w/sandpaper [80 grit] to get them clened and recut.
I just thought it was relatively simple to change the crush sleeve, so I wanted to do it.

I have seen plenty of warnings against dissembling the differential, so I would prefer not to do this if possible. I guess taking the pinion out would mess with the whole alignment of the differential?

Should I just tighten the grooved nut to 20 kg/m and check if the torque requiered to turn the pinion is within specs?

The book states grain 180 for the oil return thread?
