Why a new crush sleeve?

If you are only pulling the yoke to replace the seal and you retorque the yoke the same as it was when you pulled it why do you need to change the crush sleeve. Seems you would be changing nothing so identical torque would just snug it back to the original crush. What am I missing here. I did it before and had no problems.Was I just lucky?
That's the way I've always done it and haven't had any problems either. You just have to take all the measurements accurately and verify the preload is exactly the same on the reinstall. Now if this is going on a race car, I'd take it apart and retrofit it with the solid spacer as those crush sleeves will collapse under drag race conditions. I've never had a problem on a street car though.
