I have this coming tomorrow:

https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/b...r/9894/4514825

Do I use the gasket that comes with it, get a fel-pro, or get green RTV?? With the metal brake line in the way, I could see how a line of RTV would be a pain trying to get the cover on under the brake line.

As far as scuffing the mounting surface, will a red scotchbrite pad work or should it be more like 80grit?

Torque is 20lbs, got that.

I'm gonna be an additional $49 for the cover kit, an additional $16 for 2 more quarts of gear oil and possibly another gasket and more permatex (I used ultra black I had lightly on the felpro).

I just don't want to do this again. :/
