I'm replacing the oil seal on my 1985 MR input yoke. I was going through the service procedure, and from Chris' video, I understand that the later drives did away with the small spacer and you have to torque to the specified preload using a dial indicating wrench. Trouble is, I don't have a dial indicating torque wrench and I'd rather not buy one considering they are $100+ and I'll probably use it once.
At this point I haven't taken apart my bearing assembly yet, but assuming it has the small spacer, is it OK to go ahead and reassemble using the spacer and the pre-set torque value? If it does not have the spacer, can I add a spacer?
