I’ve put several of them back together with white Teflon paste on the threads and a torque of 150ftlbs. Never had an issue at all what so ever. I’m pretty confident the 44’s in these trucks use pinion shims so even when your setting them up for the first time you don’t need a whole lot of torque on the nut. I normally try to use a new lock nut when I replace the seal.
