Hate to hijack.....buuut.

I just did this today.

now apparently the tourque specs are a little off for the supplied grade 5 hardware that comes with the Solid Diff Cover ( I only found this out after I searched here and after I had an issue with two of the bolts)

my issue is this, two of the bolts started to spin freely with only 25ft of tourqe, figured I would toss them and thrown in the stock bolts until i could get some grade 8 hardware tomorrow.

however upon removal it appears that the bolts are ok, and they may have spun in the housing...the stock bolts wouldnt grab ... I am wondering if I stripped the housing itself ? which would be kind of strange withg only 25ft.. the cover is on thre tight and doesnt leak...I am now concerned that the lowver part will peel since one of the loose bolts is on the bottom.

going to get some new bolts tomorrow and try that, but is this a major issue if teh housing is stripped ?

thanks... yea, used a lube locker for the first time, and followed their recommended sequence and tourqe specs.... I would say that 15 - 20 is sufficent... and 25 is too much ! lol

If the lower bolt is stripped just helicoil the hole and add a new bolt.

u know... this was the first thought i had.... brought me back to my old dirtbike days as a kid, when we would strip our drain plugs ! lol
