If you look at the LT230QRS Overhaul Manual then the pre-load setting of the bearing sounds quite complex:
1. Select neutral.
2. Screw a suitable bolt into tapped hole in end of tool LRT-41-005.
3. Insert tool LRT-41-005 in end of mainshaft.
4. Using a suitable torque meter on tool LRT-41-005, check and record torque to turn mainshaft input gears.
5. Tighten the intermediate shaft nut in small stages checking the torque to turn the input gears until the mainshaft input gear torque to turn figure recorded in operation 4 has increased by 1.25 Nm (10 lbf.in).
So in real terms you have to turn the mainshaft using a rotational torque meter ... yes we all have one of those, and then when thhe torque increases by 1.25Nm tap the side of the intermediate shaft nut.
Now I'm no scientist but I think we can safely say that in the wild it would be quite possible to rotate the main shaft, tighten the intermediate shaft ever so slightly, rotate again and so forth until you just feel a very slight resistance on the mainshaft, Job Done.
Now the purists will probably have me burn in hell for that explanation but I bet none of them have ever done it with LRT-41-005 and a rotational torque meter either
(I have)Oh and the special tool for getting the oil seal in ... I like to call it a rubber hammer with a very light touch on the edge of the seal
