I'm gonna replace the cv/axle combo on the 951 on Monday or Tuesday. I've got new assemblies (including new hardware) sitting on my front porch (says FedEx). I've also got the 12 point tool from MidAmerica - way cheaper than the P-car places (FedEx says its also on the porch).
I know it's not teener stuff, but it's gotta be the same process, just different. I've heard the driver's side is a bit awkward to remove because of the exhaust's location. I think I'm good to go, and hope it's not a can of worms - I hope to spend the next 3 months or so driving it around the South and Midwest. My biggest concern at the moment is whether or not to use a thread locker. I've got that really bitchin' stuff that James Adams recommended to me a couple years ago. I think the torque #s are about 30 ft/lbs for the bolts. Any thoughts? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Attached thumbnail(s)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Use new washers and you're good.

use the wire locks that Dr Evil has. Bolt is drilled for wire, no way it backs out

Don't 951s use 10mm fasteners instead of 8mm? And aren't they Allen head instead of triple square? The torque for 10mm socket head bolts is likely to be 56ft/lbs, not 31, and I wouldn't use thread locker. The Cap'n

They are triple squares. Use the same tool as our teeners. I've got the new harware sitting next to me. It'll be my early am project. I don't have time to wait for the washers. I plan on leaving for three months tomorrow.

If you need to reuse the washers be sure to torque the fasteners. I just tightened mine once to where I thought they were good. Went back an hour later and checked with a torque wrench and they were at about 35 lbs... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
Have a safe trip. |

There are just too many good alternatives to using thread locker.
You'll regret using locker the first time you need to remove those bolts. |
