I got the differential cover back from the shop. I hadn't noticed this originally when buying the new bushing, but it isn't an updated design. It is just slightly newer. Oh well, I figured it is a "while you're there" item.
On a side note, the shop I took the cover to get the bushing pressed in carries Amsoil. I'll probably hit them up and get some 10W40 next oil change.
I got home and started to install the differential cover back on to the rest of the differential. The cover went relatively smoothly outside of having to balance putting on the new gasket while threading bolts on. A little gear oil helped me out though.
Afterwards I ran into what frustrated the crap out of me. The bushing that connects to the body was about 1/4" off from where the bolt holes are on the body. I tried for about 30-45 minutes persuading the bushing so I could get the bolt through. I got close, but I couldn't get it to go through the second hole. Frustrated I gave up since the girlfriend was coming over so we could watch Game of Thrones. I'll give it another go Saturday or Sunday when I have time.
