[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 13309469, member: 20202"] One item I failed to mention with adding studs to the diff case. I use Kawi Bond case sealer on the diff cover which has very aggressive adhesive properties (RTV is not as strong and will "give" easier). The only way you can remove the cover on a studded diff is to use the thrust pad screws to break the seal (if you don't have those good luck trying to get the cover off). With bolts you can just tap the cover from the side with a plastic or lead hammer. I welded thick tabs to 4 corners of my cover so I can tap it with a hammer as well to help break the seal. Use a [B][U]tiny[/U][/B] spot of blue Loctite on the studs when threading them into the case. This mod allows for higher torque to be applied to the nuts over bolts on that beefy FRP cover and eliminates thread stretch :rockon: Just keep this in mind should you stud the case. [/QUOTE]
