When all was said and done, did you have a tiny bit of end play in each axle?

One time I set one up without adequate end play and so the axles were pressed against the center spacer too tight. That made for a noisy diff. Then the first time one wheel spun at a higher speed than the other wheel, the inner ends of the axles welded themselves to the spacer. The spacer had to be cut in half with a torch in order to pull the axles out.
