Rear diff cover over tightened
Replaced rear diff oil. it looks like I over tighten one of the bolts on bottom and its leaking there. I say it looks like I over tighten it because it appears it's slightly bent.
Do I need a new diff cover or can I redo the seal and slap it back on there torqued correctly?
Also, parts store gave me a gasket when I bought the gear oil. Is that the route to go or should I use a tube of rtf? I also read somebody using Permatex "The right stuff" because it sets harder and the truck can be driven immediately rather than waiting 24 hours. Any thoughts on that?
