Default changing diff COVER thread?

I found the one for changing the fluid, I'm changing the covers too - need to know what gaskets, sealant, and how to torque the bolts...

Lubelocker makes sealing easy, 25 ft/lbs on bolts.

I use RTV sealant, black. Torque bolts to 30ft/lbs ...I torque the cover down as I would a valve cover...ie not like a tire. I start with the middle 4, then work my way out until i've done the top and bottom ones last

If you get Lubelockers, they'll come with a torque diagram. And DON'T overtorque the bolts: Some folks using Lubelockers have broken off bolts.
