Does anyone know if the PML diff cover comes with new bolts or do yo reuse the old ones? Thanx

 

I put a PML on my front dif and an Oasis on my Rear Dif and yes both came with new allen head bolts. I used the stock Gaskets. Be sure to tighten bolts to the proper torque (sorry I can't remember what it was, 20 foot pounds or so I think). Also be sure to use some Teflon tape or other good thread sealant on the drain plug. I didn't and have a bit of capillary seepage at my drain plugs. Just enough to collect dust. I Will remedy that when time comes for next fluid change.

 

put mine on last saturday-new bolts-uses factory gasket. i was able to find mine for 169.00 with free shipping on the net!

 

I agree with all of the above, I have one on my 07 and it works great. I had some seepage at the bottom of my drain bolt. When I changed the fluid I used some teflon tape and no more seepage!

 

thanx for the info

 

Teflon tape eh? makes sense ill have to do that myself considering I also have some seepage of my own.

Kind of on the same subject anyone know how hard it is to re-tap the bolts for the diff cover? The bottom one on mine is all messed up and when I tried to use the ones that came with the PML cover it didnt work closer look at the bolt that was in there was it was different than the others so someone messed it up and just stuck a different bolt in there. if it was a top one I wouldnt have been too concerned but a bottom one where the fluid always sits makes me kind of nervous.

 

I see two options, re-tap to a larger thread size for that one hole, will also need to increase hole size in cover. Not sure if you have enough clearance for that. My preferred option would be to tap and install a helical coil for the existing thread size.
