I do not understand what lines or marks you are talking about?

I marked the pinion nut, in relation to the yoke. And marked the nut along with the output shaft. And accounted for how many threads the nut was on the output shaft before removing to replace pinion seal. But the marks on the output shaft that showed where the nut needed to be, seem to have mostly rubbed off as the nut was removed.

So, I have a GM handbook, and it shows the steps without mentioning preload, or removing axels to take the pinion nut and torque to 270 lb ft. I am wondering if this is my best bet as now I cannot confirm the proper placement of the nut from original markings. Thoughts?

Additional Note: If the crush sleeve was originally set to the proper spec, I would assume torquing to the original spec would work.
