No probs on the install, you will find that one of the bolts is a bit of a pain to tighten, just lift the front on the drivers side on the frame to get the clearance for your wrench. I have yet to try full flex. I think it will be OK

I found the same sort of thing with the D35 - but since this threaded steel plug is replacing a plastic grommet I think it is all a dead set no brainer and of little consequence. As the threads are tapered they should seal where-ever they stop; and since they are only holding oil back from 'splashing' out at no pressure I doubt you would need thread sealent even if they only went in a couple of turns. So long as they are tight enough so they don't drop out on the road.
Be at peace, my brothers.

there is a pressure variance in the diff proportional to temperature, thus the vent tube...but i agree that the issue is of little consequence and can be dealt with easily - even halfway in is ok as long as it doesnt fall out or leak...i noted there was someone here with oil seeping past their plug and that is why i (and others) are suggesting thread sealant
