alrighty then ! thank you ! and don't forget some black rtv in the pinion splines just to insure no seepage past them.
Sorry I didn't read the entire post on before adding my earlier comments Make sure both sets of threads are brake cleaned. Red loctite & torque preferably or impact back together. I've been known add a bit of RTV to the backside of the washer for a bit of added insurance. ( I hate comebacks)
