Yes I'm not sure the manual is very clear there, I don't know if it just means tighten until the lugs on the diff nut holder get to the end of the slot, but even that is probably a bit tight. I don't know why you would want to tighten it beyond where it won't easily slip.
I've rebuilt my completely standard diff twice now, I had to glue the nut in the holder, other than that it has worked okay, but it does start to feel crunchy soon after running it, even if it is free and doesn't slip. I got about 4 meetings out of it first time before it got very crunchy. A friend's built his standard but with ceramic balls and it felt smoother than mine ever did, so I'll try some of those, if it's smoother in the first place, it will probably last longer.
