Setting pinion bearing pre-load on a seal re-do can get tricky of you don't pull the carrier and replace the crush sleeve. My short cut was to use a shim between the front bearing and crush sleeve. That gives you a little more crush on the sleeve to get the pinion nut tight and not have the yoke tighten against the bearings themselves and be over loaded.

If it's just replacing the seal I make a scribe mark on across the nut and shaft. Then make sure it lines up EXACTLY when I reinstall it. Otherwise preload can get messed up.
