Axle fell of the transmission yesterday. Bent a bolt and sheared a bolt. The other two appear to be fine and just loosened themselves out.
My assumption is I didn't torque them down correctly. Question is..... Bolt size? I have M8 special bit And... There are 6 holes....4 bolts and 2 alignment pins correct? I appear to have lost those 2 pins when the axle came off. Source for the 2 pins? Thanks all! -R  |

100% agree with using the torque wrench. At one time I was poor, and didn't replace the schnorr washers plus I didn't use a torque wrench. Ended up losing the CV joint and bending the shift rod.
ALWAYS replace the schnorr washers and CV gaskets. Use the proper tool and a torque wrench to torque the bolts to 31 lb/ft. And every time you get under the car, visually check all 8 bolts. |
