I'v been trying to find an exploded view or the pinion set-up and view, 
can't.  Is there a separate nut to tighten the crush sleeve and isn't 
touched when changing the seal?  Then  after that is changed, the yoke 
is installed and the nut is tightned with an air gun?  I"m I off base.  
What could change the setting?
