What torque spec does AEV recommend? I know the factory says 30 ft lbs. but with the more rigid Motobilt cover and the OEM gasket I only torque to 20. I’m using some black stainless Allen bolts and washers for hardware. I will be doing my 6th diff fluid change with no hardware stripping or leaks. I will be replacing the OEM gaskets although probably not necessary,
Torquing diff covers?

High quality hex bits/wrenches make a difference in the tendency to round out the socket head. PB Swiss chrome vanadium for the win
