Rick that is correct, and the 175 lb. torque for the crush sleeve is meaningless as many times it takes far more than that to crush the sleeve. I would say the crush sleeve method is little harder, since when you are getting close to what you want even a 1/16 th of a turn can change the inch lb. torque a lot.
Where some people get confused is they want to fix a leaky pinion/yoke seal and think they can just change the seal and torque the nut to 175 lbs. . That works for a solid shim but not for a crush sleeve and you may not know what you have.
