You snapped the ears off the metal t-nut? I think you need to lower the torque setting on your hand

The way I do it is to thread lock it (with the AE factory team blue stuff) and tighten it until the ears touch the end of the slot or I feel the spring has compressed, then back it off 1 turn.
Next I put it in the car but dont put the front centre driveshaft in so I can get to the end of the screw in the slipper. Then hold the spur and one rear wheel still and turn the other rear wheel, I adjust the slipper so when doing this the slipper slips before the diff does. Then make sure you give it 24 hours for the threadlock to set.

Apart from superglue there isn't really a way to build one on raceday, it's best to have a spare built up and ready to go
