I have a V-8 car running spacers between the inner CVs and the drive flanges. Perhaps because there are two CV gaskets on each side, the bolts loosen all the time. It seems like every time I check them, they are loose! I have drilled the heads of the bolts and plan to safety wire them and maybe use red lock tight. Anyone have any further thoughts about how to keep these little bitches tight? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

Go to most any motorcycle shop to get safety-wire plyers.
I recently dropped my transaxle to replace the clutch and had the opposite experience. I couldn't get the damn things off! Finally it was a combination of hitting them with penetrating oil, then an impact, heating them with a torch, then the long breaker bar for last stubborn few.
