differential pinion preload question.

I peaked at 20 in-lb while installing the pinion. I'm now at 11 in-lb including oil seal drag. I don't think anything was compromised, but i could be wrong. Should I get a new crush sleeve and try again?

Thank you for sharing this. I’ll admit I’ve seen this video numerous times before. He does a great job of walking through the crush sleeve process.
