Good idea - was thinking the same - so did you countersink the retaining washer more or the diferencial axles or both - and does anyone know how much side to side (in and out slack - back and forth ) play is needed on CV axle ? I could have check on my stock ones but they are out already - I would guess about 1/2 inch - that way one could check before they test drive with modified axles and shim kit - one could take visegrips and clamp on to help in moving and measuring differences.

I change the pitch on the bolt head to countersink it more.

yep pretty much. I got one totally flush with the cap that one will go on the drivers side. the other isn't flash but I've reduced its stack height significatly and the od of the head. I've ground about a millimeter off the driver side axle.

Caps and bolts are in when i was torquing the bolt i visibly saw the flange move 1/8th-1/4in towards the case on both sides.

well sort of... what I did was bought the inner washers from hardware store (40% kit) and the caps and flange bolts from peloquins. I ground the heads of the bolts supplied by peloquins down to fit better into the countersinks of the caps from peloquins.
