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  |

Make sure you check the threads on the broken and bent bolt area's on the output flange,it takes a lot to bend and snap these HT capscrews...just saying.
I torque to 31 ft/pounds and never has an issue,these bolts can handle that,this torgue is what I used on all the watercooled VW Golfs and never a failure as mentioned by greg and clay. Again as mentioned the matting faces and bolts need to be spotless,nothing wrong with a wee lick of Loctite...end of story. |
