pinion seal crush washer

[rlebar]

I'm fixing my leaking pinion seal today. I'm just going to index everything (driveshaft, yoke nut) and put it back exactly as it was before.

Should I use a new crush washer or the old one?

You'd have to reset the preload if you replace the crush sleave. Just use the old one and tighten it back to where it was before you started

the only time u need a new one is when u put new bearings in make sure u get the nut all the way tight

Your gonna want to check preload either way. Even if you use the old on theirs no way of knowing where it was before.
