8-3/4 lock tabs
« on: March 22, 2010 - 10:53:51 PM »
While redoing my 8-3/4 rear, I took the third member out. While looking at the ring gear I noticed one of the bolts that holds the keeper in place was backed out about 1/8". :22yikes: It's only about a 1/2" long to begin with. Another 500-1000 miles and it probably would have fallen out.
Should you use locktite on those bolts?  :dunno:
