What is the amount of torque for the bolts on the rear differential cover?

Thanks

Hmmm.... I have a list of torque settings, but for some reason that one's not on there. If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say no more than 8-10 lbs., similar to oil pan bolts.

I'll second Brer Mick's suggestion. With a thin film of Hylomar or copper RTV it should be good to go.
