Diff cover bolts...

Hey Randy, I was wondering if you knew the thread size for the diff cover bolts. I snapped one of my ARP's today because my damn torque wrench didnt click.

Thanks Randy.

Just for future reference, anyone getting ARP diff cover bolts, the part # is ARP-612-1250 on summit.

The spec on those is 25-30 ft*lbs. I would think it took considerably more than that to break one. Wake up, McFly!

Oh yeah...

Heya Randy.

Blah blah blah. Im not sure what happened. I think I wasnt moving the wrench enough for it to click or something. Its not like it was at 100ft lbs when it snapped. It didnt feel like much. Oh well. Im just glad it wasnt a spark plug or head stud.
