On the third hand, expecting a single screw of ANY denomination on the
rim of a circle to exert clamping pressure on the whole circle flies
in the face of everything you ever learned in highschool physics. Once
the seal is established and everything is set, sure the screw will
help prevent the seal from busting open, but that is significantly
later in the game.
In the instructions that came with my Phantom Grip, Bill Perry of
Rivergate recommends eliminating the paper gasket and substituting one
of the silver RTV sealants. Once the shaft is in place, place spacers
(short pipe sections, stacks of washers, etc) on each stud and tighten
up the lugnuts as if the wheel were in place. Allow to sit overnight
if at all possible BEFORE putting any oil into the diff. Works well
for me.
