Since this is my 4th differential, and I had to use heat to loosen them last time, the many-time stressing of the bolts led to the failure. I'm sure the extra stress of size wasn't helpful, but neither was the 270 hp. Eventually I'll swap to e30 shafts because it's the right way to do it.
Yeah, that'll do it for sure, lol. I didn't realize you've been through so many diffs and that you had to torch them hahaha. I'm sure you already have new bolts ordered, but if not, I have my old ones that you're more than welcome to. They've only been torqued once and you can have them for the low cost of free
