This seems like a no-brainer, but is there any reason not to just use regular allen head bolts (or hex head) to replace the torx or 12star female bolts that are stock on the CV joints? What about the stock wave washers, wouldn't a lock washer work just fine?

i'm not the Cap'n but sometimes i do play his straight man on the Internet... (the *really* earlly Nadella halfshaft cars used 4 bolts only, on the inner joint, and the outer was integral with the stub axle.) SOME 911's use 6 bolts, some use 4 bolts and 2 pins like 914's. up to '68 (the SWB cars) they also used 8mm bolts; from the LWB cars on, they are 10mm bolts. oh -- 8mm CV bolts are torqued to 4,3MKg -- near 'nuff 30 lbs/ft. (for comparison, a "standard" 8mm fastener typically gets about 2,5MKg.) a 911's 10mm bolts are torqued to 8,3MKg - ~57 lbs/ft. |
