Allen bolts are a mistake.
Use the original bolts, new washer and make sure the surface of the bolts, CV and drive flange are clean and DRY of any oil or grease. Also make sure there is no RTV there as some like to use it there. The reason those bolts back up is that dirt and grease captured on above mentioned surfaces create temporary pressure that makes you think the bolt is fully torqued. Then the dirt gives up and the bolt torque goes out the window and even the washer doesn't help anymore. |
