Axle Retainer Nut Torque w/ Green Bearings?

The thrust button issue is sort of coupled with the axles he's using. I emailed Dr. Diff about it when I put green bearings on my new rear end and he said if you are using the stock axles it doesn't matter, you can leave the button in or take it out. Aftermarket axles tend to be a little longer so they have more of the splines engaged in the rear end and be more likely to hit the button. I left the button in mine so far and don't seem to have any issues aside from a whine that I'm fairly sure is gear setup related. I should have checked it before I swapped the rear end in, but I was impatient.
