Just get them snugged like you would an oil pan or trans pan. Don't want to warp the cover and make it leak. I used a dab of Loctite on 'em(after cleaning everthing REAL well!

sorry

not the bolts that hold the cover---changed the bolts that hold the carrier inside the rearend to studs

I would still torque them the same as the bolts would be.I think it should be around 55 foot pounds.I belive that the studs are just stronger than bolts.
