I stripped the threads out of one of those. It still holds with just the other bolts though.

You can take a good bolt to Oreilly's and they have a tool that measures the threads so you will know what to replace it with.

That's what I'm doing today because I need two differential cover bolts and a thread tap for my friend's truck.

I think Tyler said he only uses one on each side. Holds fine and saves time if he removes them
