Ive done a few....the thickness of the bolt (14mm) moves the diff 2 degrees.... what you do is take one arm off at a time, and oxy slot out the hole downwards (dont go the wrong way) then put the arm and bolts back in but put 2 washers on the front one...when both sides are done, have a wheel alignment, adjust caster and weld washers in place....if not enough, do the back aswell, but....do the front first, and use proper 14mm washers....that way, the diff stays square.
