He focused on other things (work, family, his side hustles, etc...).

haha, I get that. At times, these trucks or trucks in general come 2nd, 3rd, etc...Hopefully he will return here at some point. Seems like lots of guys take a break at times, then they eventually return.

I just wanted to ask a couple of questions.

For the input shaft seal:
After re-installing the gland assembly, and it bottoms out and stops, you turn it 1/2" backwards. That is in relation to 1/2" of rotation, or a certain amount of degrees rotation relative to 1/2", correct?

Also, I saw in another ideo that one could make a mark on the gland and on the nut and case to mark where the gland assembly should be after re-assemly. Is this a viable option to consider?
