Drive Shaft Too Tight With 80lb Torque

[hacksaw]

I have a 1978 chrysler 75HP and I put a seal kit in the lower unit. I read the manuel and it tells me to torque the dive shaft gear to the drive shaft to 80lb, But when I do the drive shaft is hard to turn by hand. <br />Most Tapered bearings have a crush sleeve or spacer between the bearings to set preload but theirs not one their and the book dosen't show one either.<br /><br />What am I doing wrong??<br />Thanks
