Thanks, As I had mine Powder coated Red, I expect it to be delayed, but well worth the wait. The Wife said to go for the Bumper so, I'll be on the Website tonight. [ThumbsUp]

Maybe I'll get mine soon as it appears I ordered the same day you did, however I expect it to take a bit longer with the Powder Coat. [Crybaby] [LOL]

Cool, shouldn't take more than a few minutes to install, unless I have a beer for each bolt. [drink] [Spit] [LOL]

Just checked and the tracking # is showing the 23rd. [Crybaby]

It's not hard to install, but my suggestion would be, if you remove all the bolts and it starts leaking, to pull the cover, re-seal it and fill it back up. Too many times have I seen diff covers leak because of someone adding diff armor and not resealing the cover. It turns a 10 minute job into an hour job, but might save you a headache down the road.

The Shrock armor can take a pretty good beating.

Is it a gasket or silicone? Did yours leak?

You use rtv silicone. I can get you the exact specs for what Nissan calls for if you want.

Mine was leaking before I even put it on. I had peeled the cover back twice. It was so bad that when I took the bottom three bolts out, diff fluid just poured out. I already planned on taking the cover all the way off to pound the lip back, so it wasn't a big deal.

That's good advice. If it is already leaking, take the time to remove and reseal. If it isnt already leaking, I'd try just putting the new one on....that should be OK. If it does start leaking you can remove and re-seal.

Ok, So I couldn't wait and put it on tonight, I think I'll have a leak and will need to possibly reinstall.



Easy install and perfect fit. Thanks Jim! [ThumbsUp]

There have been two people complain about the supplied bolts. It seems the heads are stripping out if you try and properly torque them.

That's not entirely shocking, the 3/16 inch hex looks like a good idea, but I'd rather of had the Cap bolts or regular bolts. Either way, it's a simple trip to the harware store to change. I have quite a bit of hardware at home and will see what I can find when I pull it off to seal my drip, drip. The supplied hardware seems to be slightly larger than the size specified, but definately not metric.

BTW-I made sure to throw a 3/16 allen wrench into my metric toolbox.

The instructions say 20 ft-lbs. If you do that, there shouldnt be a problem. I know at least one person used 31 ft-lbs for some reason.

A std 5/16 x 1" (course thread) bolt will work fine. 20 ft-bs for grade 5 and 29 ft-lbs for Grade 8.

Probably because the Service Manual states 36ft-lbs for C200 and 31ft-lbs for the M226 (D44 variant).

FWIW, these will now ship with regular style 5/16 Gr8 hex bolts to avoid any future problems.

Thanks Tom! I likey too.

Jim I'm glad you've addressed the problem.

I'll be going for some hardware tonight and gear oil, Rtv. Can't leave it parked with all that armor and it's supposed to rain this weekend.
