Id' say it is what it is.... take that reading and go from there. If you added a tad to it on re-assy no harm done...You just dont wanna go with to much drag.
once you get near the end of the tightening keep checking for in/out play...then creep up some more and re-check. Once that in/out play is gone your getting damn near done...you'll pretty much be able to do it by feel.... you dont want to feel any axial play as you'll get be putting slop in there and it'll be noisy. you need to have it dead nuts both ways.... no in/out play and the reading you took at the start.
Getting that seal out with the pinion in there??? room wise it'll be tight. you may need to drill some 1/8" holes on the sides and drive some screws to get something to yank on???... just thinking out loud. those seals go in tight.
I use a 3/8" dia punch and put it in a hole on the yoke and turn the dif til it jams up against the dif case...youll be able to reef the nut on nice and slow... it works pretty sweet.
Good luck with it...
