<br /><br />What's 10 bucks once a season for an OD pull? <br /><br />I just put my drive on a week ago and had to pull it off this week to re-seat the raw water seal. I considered using them again, but since I had another set in hand it was a no brain-er. I played with week old one use ones compared to the new ones and there was a big difference in how tight they were. Even if there is no danger of the drive coming off, which I doubt there is, it's more important to maintain the seal on your bellows and raw water. That's also what the torque is about.
REALLY Don?? Now you are going to make me dig it up. Maybe it was a Seloc manual (since I just got my OEM's), BUT it CLEARLY stated in one of the manuals I have "NEVER reuse them."<br /><br />Now that said, experieince is more prudent, and as you pointed out in another post about an impeller housing, why buy unesssary parts. If you say they can be reused that's good enoguh for me. Then again some parts are cheap and others aren't.
) page 9-26 of the Seloc manual has in big bold letters:<br />"NEVER attempt to use the old locknuts." And it goes on to explain these nuts are meant to be used once yada yada yada..<br /><br />But following protocol, if you have an OEM manual in hand you'd never read that )))))))<br /><br />-M
