Sorry, I might have mislead you. I meant to say that when I have the ball housing disconnected from the back of the tranny and slide it back along the torque tube to access the UJoint, it has been very easy to slide back when I have the ball housing attached and tightened down.

Now that I have installed the new cork seal in the collar and it attached to the ball housing, it is very tough to slide it forward so I can attach the ball housing to the back of the tranny. Just wondering if I should maybe apply some Hylomar or something similar to the inside and outside diamater of the cork seal.
