Hey my inner cv joint bolts keep getting loose. Thinking of putting a safety wire hole in it aircraft style or maybe some lock tight stuff. I have used new cone washers and they still get loose. What do you think.

Please, do not use loctite on CV joint bolts.
Usually, if you use new schnor washers and clean out the bolt holes that inevitably get grease in them (I use lots of q-tips), they'll stay tight. You need to retorque them after a certain number of miles. (I use 100 miles as a guide.) P.S. Check the member vendor section. Dr. Evil sells very well done sets of drilled CV joint bolts and wire.
