Im with boatsteve on this one. Ive been doing this for almost 20 years now and not once have I had a failed differential using this method. I count the threads, scribe the nut to pinion. upon reassembly use same thread count and scribe mark just past original position. If your gonna do it as per the service manual you then have to disassemble rear diff. remove pinion gear and install new crush sleeve then reassemble as per specs. cant trust specs with used crush sleeve.

I first remove the drive shaft, then scribe a line on the end of the shaft and the pinion nut. Measure the distance from the nut face to the pinion shaft face. Save this number. remove the nut (Impact) change seal, lube seal, put yoke on. Now replace nut you can run this up with the impact to near tight. measure the nut to pinion shaft distance, turn nut until you have the old number plus .001 to .008 The marks should be just a hair Past the old spot.
I have done it this way for years while not the correct process I have put 194,000 miles on repairs done this way without issue.
