Not that it caused any of your problems but 55 ft/lbs is WAY too tight for a M8 12.9 fastener. According to most bolt specs the upper limit on 12.9 M8 bolt is only 29ft/lbs lubricated. It might be slightly more if dry but why install dry?

Sorry I don't want to nit pick so much on this topic since I am a newbie here but I wouldn't want everyone to overtighten them and have one snap off in a tranny someday.

Hopefully I am not offending anyone by giving a little bit of positive support for the OBX LSD. I don't really like the company that much either but hey this product isn't half bad for what it is.
