Hey guys, I was putting my friends 12 bolt back together (all new parts of course) and I went a little too tight on the crush sleeve, can I simply back the nut off or should I use a new crush sleeve?

Thank you for your time.

You need a new one. Backing off will just loosen the whole deal up, no pre-load.
