g i can see if i look in it or set myself? thanks for the hejoe, i have had the yoke off when i put the new seal in last year. at that time i had the bearing out and looked at it. i slipped it back in and put the new seal back in. i have not had any trouble until i changed out the shock absorbers recently. there is the nut that holds the yoke on. i took that off and slipped the yoke off the shaft. im talking about the front pinion bearing. i can push in on that bearing and it allows more oil to spill out until the bearing slids back against the oil seal. then the oil goes to a slight stream. according to my manual the picture shows a it in the following order. pinion nut, washer, slinger, oil seal, front pinion bearing, collapsable spacer then rear pinion bearing and on and on. when i put the stuff back together and just put the nut on and tightened it. i did not torque it. is the bearing suppose to move back and forth? i dont see anything in the manual about pressing the bearing in or needing shims or anything. the only thing is the collapsable spacer, but it is on the other side of the bearing. is the crush sleeve somethinlp chris
