Rwk has them and he is very reasonable and fast
What's the deal with these? Are they reusable or something?
Ease of service. No RTV scraping, and it reususeable.
I have had the one on my D30 off 10+ times, it still seals great
Requires no additional work/mess when getting in the diff. It's reusable. Think of it almost as the K&N (or other serviceable filter) of the differential world, but better.
I installed a d30 and c8.25 lube locker on mine as well. I've done it a few times but felt the torque on the bolts was a bit too much. After searching around I came across this thread.

Since I read that I've been doing the 15ft/lbs followed by 25ft/lbs and have been happy. Let me know any opinions or experiences you guys have had in regards to the bolt torque. Keep in mind the bolts usually have some oil on them so essentially its a wet torque when you put them back on which would be higher than if they were completely dry.
Also, when you pull them off to reuse them, make sure you don't use break cleaner on the gasket as it will destroy it, ask me how I know this =) so now I just wipe them clean with a rag.
I've boughten them for the c8.25 from Complete Offroad, fwiw...
