kinknoppix Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Anyone have a good recommendation on tightening the drive shaft bolts that go to the diff. Im having a lil problem of stripping them with a rench because i cant get a ratchet completely over the bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tennesseejed Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 If you haven't already, dropping the mustache bar off of the diff will let the nose drop about 3-4 inches (put a stand under the diff) and the bolts are much more accessible. Without an impact wrench handy, this might a lot harder than with. I left the rear sway bar in place. Still, those four bolts are a pain to get at, but I was able to do it yesterday with two 14mm end wrenches, one of which was 6" shorty. Good luck.

HowlerMonkey Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I grind the end of a box wrench thin so I can get full grip on the bolts/nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
