Am I missing something here.  My diff had six studs that protrude far
enough that once the spring is aligned and the center pin is in place,
the retaining plate just dropped in place.  Of course after torquing the
new nylock nuts down it compressed the spring further.  Did I do
something wrong?  It all seemed so straight forward when I was doing it.
