I'm putting it back together. I'm wondering how far down to run the nut? I didn't pay attention as to how much thread was sticking out when I spun it off. I used a 1/2" impact and ran it down to about 3 threads out and it's still going but I don't want to mess something up in the rear end. Thanks.

All the times I switched mine out I just ran it in by hand until it got really tight. I didn't want to compress the crush any more. It's been working for three years now.
