(IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) WTF - I'm really tired of this self-rescue operation - the driver's half-shaft has come off twice now - and the repair is a pain in the ass. I'm afraid I'm going to be mowed down by a texting teenager while I'm under the car getting these things back on.
twice now on the driver's side - and I checked the other side and those bolts were loose as well. so now I've gone from DT (damn tight!) to RFT (really f'ing tight) - - - anyone else have this happen? what to do? New bolts? thx td |

Clean,clean and red loctite.And new washers.The proper Schnorr washers.
Or perhaps the safety wire route. Im going to go that route,though ive actually had no problems without.Its nice insurance. |

QUOTE(speed metal army @ Apr 7 2013, 12:09 AM)  Clean,clean and red loctite. If you use loctite, use the blue. The threads on the flange and the bolt both must be very clean. If you're not using a torque wrench, you should be. I use 33 ft lbs (spec is 30 I think), never used wire, never had an axle come off. |
