you should tighten the bolt to 170 ft/lb, rotate the shaft or the housing several full turns, retighten to 170 lbs/ft and intall the lock plate. if you can't intall it either way, tighten the bolt some more until you can install the plate.
later model final drives were shim adjusted and the 1 inch bolt was tightened to 520 ft/lbs.
in order to use the shim adjustment on your 5020 you need machined shaft end and planetary washer and a new special bolt. go with the original settings.
