Escort Axel - Flange/Bearing Tightening up
Ok ... just put in a new oil seal..
easy enough.. however when tightening the nut that holds the driveshaft flange - it locks the bearing up tight...
Is this like the old wheel bearings where you tighten them up till they feel stiff and then back off a quarter turn?
cheers

Do you mean the propshaft flange ?
If so by tightening it up you have crushed the crush tube.
This subject has been covered many times in the forum. A new crush tube will be required plus a bit of care setting up the pinion pre-load.
