Can measure the thickness of the cover and add 5/8-3/4 inch. Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk Make sure you remove any old gasket compound from the bolt holes and only go hand tight +1/4 turn with a socket. Sent from my P00I using Tapatalk |

Ballistic Fab calls for over 40 ft-lbs but now i'm very nervous. I think you guys are mostly talking about the M226 cover from Ruffstuff but should I follow the torque spec or do hand tight + 1/4 turn? Note that the C200 does not have a lubelock and will need RTV style gasketing |

I have the ARB covers on the Jeep & use RTV, hand tight has worked for me. Mostly because i can’t get my torque wrench in all the bolts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

And that's dry. Add anti seize or some over spill rtv and the number lowers. |

Those are a pain to extract,might be easier to pull the cover and clamp some voice grips on and twist it out.. And always hand tighten I learned the hard way too.. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk |

Don't do that. I wound up having to drill it out and helicoil it. I'd take the cover off and try to grab on with vice grips. |
