12 bolt gasket replacement

I am replacing the gasket on my 12 bolt today. I've never done this before. I did not find any metal shavings inside. I scraped the old gasket off and have put the new Fel Pro gasket and cover one. I have not tightened it. How tight should I turn the bolts?
How much oil should I add?
I got 80W-90 Gear lubricant.
I'm guessing that I put it in through the hole in the top where the hose is.
The hose looks terrible too. I should probably replace it while I'm there.

Any words of advice or warning?

I took a couple of pics of the differential. I'll post them in a little while.
