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. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) P.P.S. Augusta isn't too far away. Are you coming to the Rocket City Ramble? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

OK I promise no loctite. I will clean the bolts and the holes up good install new washers. Makes me feel better to know I am not the only one. I am a airplane mechanic so I will take my bolts to the shop tommorrow and cross drill them for safety wire just to make me feel better about it. Just got my new 2.0 in the hole this week so dont think it will be ready for the trip this year. Time for car work is few and far between. But would love to take her..
Thanks |
