"Put your holder in position and tighten the NEW nut to about 12 to 14 inch lb. with your 3/4" ratchet and 4' pipe. If you go over 14 inch lbs. replace the seal and crush sleeve and start over. You can not back the nut off."


Very wrong information here.

That would be 12 - 14 " pound drag on the bearing.
If you torqued the nut to 12 -1 4" pounds there would be way too much clearance.

The amount of torque to crush the sleeve is into the high 100 foot pounds.
