AKG Diff Bushing install - need help ASAP!
Does anyone know what orientation the bushings are supposed to be installed in? The kit came with no instructions and AKG doesn't have this info on their site from what I can see.
This is a pic of the bushing. What direction is the ridged side supposed to be facing? The OEM bushings don't have this ridge so I've got no reference...

The problem we're having is that the threaded rod wasn't long enough. We were able to thread on the nut maybe 1 turn but of course the nut popped off while trying to extract it and now the nut is nowhere to be found, probably broken.
This means a trip to Home Depot, and of course another day driving someone else's car. :(
We even tried to torch the bushing out and attempt to cut the races but that would've taken way too long.
