IMO, if you use _new_ schnorr washers each time, then having grease-free threads
is not necessary. I've installed and removed a bunch of times, I could never get the
area clean while still having grease everywhere you need it. I've checked the torque
before each autocross, they have never loosened even a little.

I have said this and I will say it again. When the cv comes loose, it distorts the output flange. It causes the threaded holes to be pulled out slightly. This no longer allows the cv to sit perfectly flat to the output flange. This is the main cause of cv's coming loose. Remove the output flange and turn a cleanup cut on the face. The material is not hardened and it cleans up nicely. Twice my cv's came off in a years time. I discovered this issue. They remain tight to this day

Rebuilding my CV joints and noticed my car was missing one roll pin and had no schorr washers ! Replacing all the bolts, adding the washers. Amazed the car did not have any issues running just on roll pin on one of the joints. I guess low power application helps !
What is the torque spec for the CV bolts?


Haynes says 31lbs, others say 25 lbs


Do mine @ 30lbs seem to remember Eric @ PMB stated something like that,the bolts are strong enough to take it and yes make sure they and clean and inspect the threads and bin any damaged ones.

Good morning-hope everybody had a good weekend.

It would seem as if one of the rights of 914 ownership passages is dealing with self-loosening axle bolts.

Will the correct size spring washers from Ace deal with this, or do I need special serrated ones, or do I need to safety wire them?

Thanks in advance for the help, have a good morning.



"spring waters "?

Sure as natures Lock-Tight it will help. A little rust will keep them from backing out.

My notes to myself:

Axle bolts: 6mm Allen (after market wire drilled) on the inner side, 8mm 12 point on the outer side. Torque to 30 ft-lbs
