Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you need to check the o-rings. Even if they didn't get damaged - they may have "rolled" slightly, which ain't good. Sounds like a pain, but it will be a lot easier to do now than when the crankcase is full of water and your new bearings are shot. Remove and inspect each one very carefully - a tiny nick could spell disaster. If there's any doubt at all - replace 'em. O-rings are cheap. I've done a few in-frames on DT-466 equipped trucks, and I learned this lesson the hard way. Nothing worse than buying a rebuild kit twice, plus your pride takes a pretty good kick to the groin!! Live and learn. Also, Bob is right. Use short bolts and flat washers to keep 'em in place while turning the engine over. Try to get at least two on each sleeve - three is better.
