A this point, you could just try to get it back to the required preload. I am going to take a guess that marking either piece will not be that accurate anyhow, since you are replacing the yoke, that dimension will change slightly , and the torque/preload on that bearing will change slightly . If you were only replacing the seal, then you would have been golden
And, yes, all the time, sometimes, the procedure described in the directions does not become clear, until you have your hands on it, and have already whoopsied.
