[QUOTE="H D, post: 1006122, member: 68494"] I've got a torque wrench. I did almost use this project as an excuse to get a Snap On torque wrench, though. I'm mostly behaving and just left it on my Amazon wish list for now. My birthday is next month for anyone reading.:grin: There are a couple reasons I won't go with a Lube Locker despite their rave reviews. Mainly, the hardware that comes with the diff cover requires around 25 ft lbs and the Lube Locker gasket requires 35 ft lbs, often resulting in broken hardware. I could spend a a few pennies for stronger hardware but, eh... The gooey stuff has always worked well for me. The other reason is I don't know how soon I'll need to take the cover off again based on my great ability to find water. I know the Lube Locker is supposedly "reusable" but I just can't imagine myself reusing one, no matter how much I spent on it. [/QUOTE]
