I think I need motor mounts


I use ultra black silicone for pretty much everything, it's good stuff, I'd use that over anything if you have to go buy silicone anyway...

your plan is good, but you can eliminate a couple things. you can just tighten the cover down without waiting for the silicone to set. I don't torque the bolts, I just tighten them to what feels right (there's not a lot of force on them, they just hold the cover on). And for filling, pull the fill plug out with a 3/8" ratchet extension then pull the RABS sensor from the top of the diff, use the RABS sensor hole to fill through until the level reaches the fill hole, this method is WAY easier than attempting to fill through the fill hole, on top of the diff you can just stand the bottle up instead of playing games...
 
good idea filling through the ABS hole, never thought of that, i usually just use a hand pump.
Whenever i've changed the fluid, i just clean sealing surfaces, black RTV, tighten, fill. No waiting, never had a leak. Same as scott i just tighten until i think it's good.
The silicone should keep the bolts from vibrating loose, so don't worry about really cranking on them, just tight enough.
As for fluid, i've used the valvoline i think it's a syn-blend, with good luck. And if you have a limited slip, don't forget the friction modifier!
