As you tighten the diff bolt, you will notice the T-nut ears moving
closer to the bottom of the outdrive slot. This compresses the
spring behind the T-nut. The spring should be completely
compressed at the same time the T-nut reaches the end of the
slot. Caution! Pay close attention to the feeling when the spring
is completely compressed. Do not overtighten the bolt. When you feel the spring completely compressed, loosen the diff bolt
1/8” of a turn. Your diff should now operate smoothly with
resistance as the outdrives move in opposite directions.
After you have driven the car once, re-check the diff setting.
