differential cover problem

[StickShift84]

While finishing up rebuilding my rear end two of the fasteners for the cover snapped before I was really even tightening them hard. Should I...

Replace all fasteners?
Replace just the two that snapped?

Also, what size fasteners are these and can I buy just them?

Thanks for any help.

you can get them from the dealer. you only need to replace the broken ones.

You may want to invest in a torque wrench too. Could save you a lot of money/work in fasteners and bolt extraction.

ya, when i took my cove off for the first time i chased all the threads in the diff case. there was a lot of silicone in there.
