Pete....I believe if you'll carefully re-read what I said, I only mentioned the rear face of the bearing retainer as a measuring REFERENCE point, to locate what I BELIEVED to be the actual pivot location being in line with the rear face of that big U-Joint retention washer. With the torque tube all bolted-up, you obviously cannot see that washer, and need to have a measuring reference to visualize that pivot point on the clamshell/torque tube bell. DD
