I can't get the bolt out as it just spins in both directions now, I'll have to pry down on it while unscrewing and see if I can get it to back out. For some reason I feel like the captive nut is what got stripped as the threads looked fine before I put it all back together and I didn't think I was really overdoing it on the torque (lying on my back in an awkward position and all....hard to imagine really overloading it but I guess I did).

Well, at this point I may as well put the wheels on and fill up the diff with oil and take it for a test ride. If the tight diff. makes any weird noise I'll be back into pulling the thing apart again anyway. Otherwise if all is OK with the diff, I'll get the car onto some ramps to deal with that stripped bolt.
