I don't want to take it off and risk getting the casting problem of the bottom bolt and not have a cover until it ships. I might try the new bolt idea Or use plummets tape.

Intake mine off 3 times every year not a big deal. I check my ring and pinion all the time.

I am reviving this thread as I just installed a Riddler on my rear D44 this evening.

I had the same problem with the bottom bolt where there is not enough clearance between the casting and the bolt head to allow a socket in there. Had the same problem on one of the top bolts too.

That is just poor quality control and there is no excuse for it.

I bought Riddlers for my 08 Jeep years ago, they fit and there were no issues with the bolts.

So I bought again for my new jeep.

Here is my advice if you are looking for diff covers. Don't buy Riddler.

what kind of sockets you guys using out of curiosity..

I use a 1/4 inch drive set with no issues

Same here. No issues so far with the covers or plugs

I got my $ back and got a Dyntrac.

Odd that this is still happening. I have two Riddlers for my dana 44's. Both fit fine and are solid chunks, painted them black with a the R and skull in red.

For those that have it happen all I can suggest is shaving down a socket to make it a bit thinner or have them reship. If you get it from a quality vendor I can't see them refusing a return.
