Unless I have misunderstood you will have to be very careful indeed with the
crush washer or spacer. Whilst the Workshop Manual describes a process of
retightening the nut using torque there have been many comments that from a
practical point of view that frequently *does* destroy the spacer.
Therefore the recommended process is to carefully mark the position of the
nut relative to the shaft before removal, then retighten very carefully back
to that exact point. But if you already have the nut off and have replaced
the oil seal, you will have to use the torque method. This is specified in
pound *inches* by the way, not pound feet, therefore unless you have a very
special torque wrench it will be no good.
