bushwhacker Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Does it matter which way the 4 bolts and nuts face on prop shafts? If the head of the bolt is against the out put joint they need to be put in first and then the joint needs the bigger nut put on? Does it matter? As I have a front prop shaft with the 2 ways done on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doesn't matter at all except that you will find it impossible to get a ring spanner on one end. always tighten the nut end, not the bolt head, if you get what I mean.

FridgeFreezer Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 The flange on the transfer box always has the bolts in, although it's possible to put them either way on the diff end I think they're usually in the flange there too so you can get a propshaft nut tool in from the prop side.
