I have noticed that I've always been able to slide the ball housing with collar attached and tightened back and forth on the torque tube pretty easily.
The U joint gasket kit that I recently got has a cork seal. Is this a better material for this particular application? I did install it and it was a bear to stuff this seal into the collar with the two steel compression washers. Now sliding just the collar up and down the torque tube requires some major effort.
Should I dress this cork seal with something?
