Nuts: Are these "one-time use"?
Getting ready to order some parts and can't recall where I read this but... are these "one-time use" nuts on '87 Carrera:
1. Trailing Arm nuts (near trans tunnel)? 2. CV Axle nuts (32mm, outboard CV, not castle nut)? Thanks in Advance! |
I have been told the CV joint/axle bolts are to be replaced after each use.
|
On my 81SC and 87 930, I reused the CV bolts all the time. As long as the heads were screwed up. YMMV.
|
CV nuts? Do you mean bolts? I would not reuse them. They’re cheap, why risk it? Not sure of the size for your car, but on a ‘77 they are 45 mm.
|
I'm talking nuts (not bolts). Specifically the 32mm axle nut (at the end of the outboard CV axle) AND the nuts at the trailing arm bushing (near the trans tunnel).
|
Big 32mm central nut is reusable. Torque it to spec.
|
stub axle nut is reusable, if you wanted to allay any fears, put a dot of loctite blue on the threads.

If you have the Schnorr serrated washers, they can also be re-used if undamaged. However they can only be used a few times before they have damage and need to be replaced. |
Trailing Arms Nuts Re-usable? (not bolts)
Anybody know if the trailing arm nuts (22mm socket, near the trans tunnel) are one-time use? They appear to be the "self-locking" type.
|
Those are reusable
