As already mentioned, this is super-critical, you need the pinion preload.=
Without it the gears will be out of mesh & won't last, too much will kill t=
he bearings .If it's a spacer & shims, just torque it all back down and you=
're good.If collapsible sleeve, you're screwed, unless you get very lucky.I=
f you have to go into into it I advise considering fitting a solid spacer w=
/shims, it's a much better setup.
