    • When tightening the bolts on the diff plate it is vital that you tighten them in a star pattern to avoid warping the plate. Do not exceed a torque of 40 ft-lbs per bolt.

    • Repeat the last step in reverse to re-tighten the bolts on the differential cover while following the star method of tightening bolts. Use a torque wrench to ensure proper torque specifications.

    • Now the differential is fully sealed and ready for new oil.

    • Re-insert the rubber filler plug.

    • Due to limited resources the differential oil was not changed in this guide.

Don’t forget the clean the old gasket material off, wipe up any differential fluid residue, clean the mating surface with brake cleaner, and add a new gasket maker material.

This guide really left out some very important steps. And don’t reuse your diff fluid people.

No mention of anti-slip additive which is not optional.
