You may also have to release the midshaft nut to allow driveshaft length to change slightly.

Somewhat, but wasn't really sure about the centering sleeve protrusion. My rubber disc fit loosely onto the driveshaft, thus allowing it to move around up until tightening of the flange bolts. Does this mean 4+2 MM after the disc has been tightened to the driveshaft flange? If so, I'll need to add some washers between the disc and the driveshaft flange to reduce the distance.

I also reused the nuts, but with red loctite. Should I replace with nylock nuts from the hardware store?

I'm seeing now that I did NOT torque to 55 NM, which is 40 ft lbs. That may explain why the rubber disc was pulled at an angle to each bolt hole.
