I now have my rear Teraflex cover installed. I used the Lubelocker gasket which says to torque to 25-35 ft lbs. Apperantly the bolts supplied w/ the cover bottomed out in the diff and caused me to twist one of the bolts off. Luckily I was able to get the old bolt out. I upgraded to some stainless bolts w/ washers and a lock washer. I was able to torque to 25-30 ft lbs and called it good. Not sure what grade of bolts I was supplied with but the new stainless sounded good to me. Just my

Riddler supplies grade 5 bolts...I opted for Grade 8's ...

You can get bolts in all different finnishes wehter or not they are grade 8. Stainless is awesome...more expensive and a little softer material but they would look great against any color. Remeber most grade 8 come in the black finnish which will eventually rust.... I work in the water business and we run soley stainless steel hardware when grade 8 isnt required. Good Luck

Riddler's bolts are crap. I broke one too.

Also broke off bolts suppied with the Riddler covers, two in fact. Irritating, as I'm here in the UK and it is more difficult to find a place to buy replacement bolts, and I had to order the Mobile 1 75w-90 on-line. I should have found this thread earlier and waited to install the covers. At least both sheared bolt are near the top of each cover (front & back), so not leaking with remaining bolts and lube locker.

Live and learn... then learn some more.
