Do you guys have trouble with the bolts that connect to the rear end vibrating loose and backing out. I actually had to have a bolt hole in my rear end heli-coiled because of this problem. The bolt had backed out and bunged up the thread enough for this to be necessary. I do use the red thread lock and it still doesn't seem to help. I've been keeping a very close eye on the bolts and have been re-tightening them about once a week. A bit of a PITA.

FWIW I emailed Breslin Fasteners and Mr. Breslin told me that they plan on having that size available at some point. Until then though I'd be interested if anyone else is having that problem and what they've done to fix it.

 

A number of people have reported this. Mine haven't loosened, but I tightened them using the German method: Guttentight.

Dr. K. I have employed that Germanic methodology as well. I've only used a 3/8" ratchet however, as I've have a fear of breaking the bolts. I don't suppose you would have any torque figures for a "guttentight"?

 

I never had that problem.. But, I know I got them on real real tight .. Used my 1/2 breaker bar..

As tight as my friend Jerry Malczewski (so it's actually a Polish method, not German) can get them with ratchet. And he's 6'5" ~300lbs and built like a pile of bricks.

I actually lost one of my bolts. Can anyone tell me what size and grade the four bolts are?

 

I use Red Loc-Tite
