Hi Brady, That happened to me more than once years ago. I found that the hex bolts can't be torqued down as much as the 12 points. Hasn't happened since going to all 12 pt cv bolts. Robert 1982 Westfalia

To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Date: Thursday, March 12, 2009, 7:31 PM So I'm in Boston in traffic. I just missed seeing a Volvo hit a guy on a bicycle. Traffic is a mess, ambulance, fire and police are trying to get through to the seen. I'm pissed cause the Volvo and bicycle are screwing up my time line ( yes I'm not being nice) radio is blasting. I finally get through the intersection with all of this mess happening. I went to the next light and when it went green I took off....BLAM well I knew what that noise was. Pulled over out of the way of traffic so as to not screw up every ones commute take a looks at the axle and... Well 3 of the 6 CV bolts ain't enough to Handel a quick start with BFG 31" Well I just locked the rear diff and drove another 40 something miles. I love my Syncr-Ho! |
