Default G2 cover load bolt torque??

Anybody know the torque specs for the g2 diff cover/girdle load bolts??? figured they would include a piece of paper in the box somewhere that has specs or maybe even an instruction sheet, but.... Nooooo! My luck, i get a cover, a bag of 3/8 bolts, a tube of black rtv, and a piece of bubble wrap!! I plan on buying a cover gasket, as i dislike using rtv unless absolutely necessary, and a set of 8x1.25 bolts. I am assuming the bolt torque for the cover itself is the same as the factory bolts??!!

Moser covers use 5 ft lbs for load bolts and 25 ft lbs for the cover screws. Not sure about G2 though, it should be close to that I would think. hope this helps

TA Performance recomends the same on the load bolt. I believe they manufacture most of these style cover out there for most companies.

I noticed alot of the diff cover/girdles look like the ta girdles... Called 4wheelparts today the national call center was a waste of time, the local store said same thing, 15ft lbs 1st pass 30ft lbs second pass on the cover bolts and 5ft lbs (60 inlb) on the load bolts... Its supposed to be hot as hell here tomorrow and monday so i dont see work being very busy tomorrow, so i should be able to get this and my new to me tire on...

I had to give up today because of the heat and humidity... Too much for me to handle.
