differential cover change
 

All,

I am going to buy a new set of arb diff covers and am not sure what goes into changing them out. Any hints, tips, or directions would be appreciated!

Check out WOL's write-up.

Awesome, thanks all!

Just did swapped my differential covers out for the ARB ones. Follow WOL's write up and you will be fine. I used lube lockers instead of RTV and it made it even easier.

Great thanks for the tip on the lube lockers. It was hard to find this topic as I usually use the android app, so the search is kinda unreliable. I appreciate all the feed back!

What did you torque your bolts to with the lube lockers? This is the stock diff cover and bolts?

With my Riddler D44 cover i torqued to 25ft lbs and it hasnt leaked yet. I believe lubelocker sayd 35ft lbs but peoples bolts have been snapping at that torque

Yes I heard that snapping problem as well. Doing mine soon and planned on doing 25ft lbs as well. Thanks for info.

The Lube Lockers say to do 15 the first pass through and the 35 the second. I was able to do 35ft/lb with no issues.

Is everyone using 2 quarts in each diff, front and rear? When I changed fluids the first time with stock covers, I only used 3 quarts and the oil was spewing out of the fill so I know they were full. I have Soild covers now and plan to do them this weekend. Should I buy 4 quarts of gear oil? 2 front, 2 rear?
