Reusing Axle Bolts
 
Any opinions on reusing the axle joint bolts? Several auto manufacturers recommend replacing the axle bolts when removing them. I was just wondering if that was the case with my 68 SWB 911.

it'll probably work

RWebb 02-22-2011 07:59 PM
do you mean the CV bolts?

inspect threads & wrenching feature carefully - reuse if ok

replace Schnorr washers each time

My wrench does it all the time. He only replace when they are questionable. +1 on the washers, a must.

You can get schnorr washers from porsche but they are rather spendy

Or you can get them from McMaster Carr $11/100

McMaster-Carr

and they even come in a bag with the schnorr logo

Yes the CV joint bolts. Thanks for the responses.

Aston, would you happen to have a part number? I would like to order these. Thanks, BK

Many do. Many do not.
People have differing opinions about the bolt stretch under torque, etc, and many people make their decision based on whether the car is DD or raced.

I do not reuse them.

Just did my rear wheel bearings and I replaced them since they have a tendency to strip (Spent 2 hours getting stripped one out) and they're cheap insurance.

They're so cheap, I usually toss em. Check out your local hardware store for the bolts.

RWebb 02-23-2011 11:05 AM
local hardware store???

gtc 02-23-2011 11:08 AM

If anyone is in the Maryville area, BK911 has 100 of the bastards. ;)

I was looking at the Bolt Depot and they are $24/100 for half shaft or pressure plate 12.9s

Yes, these are plain Grade 12.9 bolts,w automotive quality coating - nothing special.

RWebb 02-23-2011 01:35 PM
be glad you can get 12.9 at your local hardware store

be SURE they ARE 12.9 ...

rusnak 02-23-2011 01:46 PM
We have some good hardware stores here. The bolts I'm talking about are stamped 12.9. And depending on which cv boot kit you use, there are different bolt lengths too.
