You did replace the crush sleeve and used an inch-pound torquebeam wrench to test the rotational torque, right? Did a pinion depth gauging? Checked backlash? Or did you just use all the old shims and spacer?
When the pinion bearings get that hot, it is usually because of excessive preload, not a reused race...even though I never reuse an old race with a new bearing cone.
