(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 |

QUOTE Clean,clean and red loctite Ahhhh! If Red loctite is used "correctly" then it requires heat to get it loose. You should not need ANY loctite on these bolts. There is clearly something else going on. QUOTE Do each of the flanges the cvs bolt to have the two pins in them? That was my first thought. Do you have the dowel pins? The dowel pins take the shear forces from the torquing of the shafts. If you do not have them, then the shear is transferred to the bolts which expect to be in tension their whole lives. Stu |
