i set my diffs on the car... install and tighten per manual instructions, fully tighten and back out half turn or so... in the car remove a camber link and wheel on the side where the adjustment screw head is... long side for plastic diffs, short side for steel...
i grab the remaining wheel/tire and put my thumb on the spur gear, then i use the wheel i removed and put it back on the hex so i can get some leverage and i try to turn it... if it doesnt slip i loosen it an 1/8 turn and repeat... loosening till it just slips, then retighten about 1/8th turn... if the first "test" is slipping then i go the other way... tighten 1/8 turn till its tight, then back down an 1/8th...
once done the diff should be super smooth...
