No shimming but as O_D said the replacement of the yoke and nut in the exact spot is vital. Mark the nut and shaft so once the nut breaks free you can remove and count the number of turns and partial turns to get the yoke back at the exact same depth. I believe the seal is held in a dust shield like retainer piece on some axles and it may present some resistance in wanting to come out. IIRC, the retainer has to be reused so be gentle.
