    Well I am re-assembling everything but having problem with the bearing carrier. After inserting it and splines all lined up and turns smoothly, I put on and tighten the cover nut with the spanner wrench then the drive shaft is seized tight. I loosen the cover nut then drive shaft starts to move. Can you over tighten the cover nut and push the carrier onto the pinion gear?
