Bob,
Let's see...... New 5 speed tranny, shortened and balanced drive shaft,
Nissan Diff with Goodparts' upgrade kit and all new u-joints mean the bolts
& nuts would be the oldest part of the drive train. Plus.....getting them
off was a bitch and some got a "little" rounded in the wrenching process. So
I figure now is the time to fix it all up.

Subject: RE: [6pack] Special Bolts Needed?
Bob,
Is there are reason why you are replacing the original nuts and bolts other
than to have nice new hardware? Is there some indication that these bolts
need replacement or are prone to failure? It seems the weak link in our
cars is the u-joint and failure of all 4 flange bolts at one time is quite
remote.

I was completely ignorant of this when I reassembled my driveshaft
and axles. I used standard Grade 8 hardware. So far no issues, but if you
read my obituary and it says I died in a car crash, well, you will be able
to guess what happened.

A while ago there was a discussion about the special bolts that TR6 calipers
use, but how about the driveshaft and axle flange bolts? TRF lists them in
their catalog as "Special Bolt # 107960". Is this another example of the
collar being a unique size relative to the thread? At a $1.50 each the price
adds up pretty fast.
Thanks
Bob
