The best way, is to build it, tighten it so you can't slip it by hand, then bed the diff in, and re-tighten.
I build mine just as you described but I don't mess with it after it is in the car. I have maybe twice in my 10 yrs of running car messed with it in the car and that was to tighten it so I did have to rebuild it then I had one race and wasn't doing so well anyways.
The #1 killer is if you start just a little to loose it slips and you get trash in the grease and it snow balls from that point.
And it is so important to the handling on a slick track.
