Halfshaft Replacement - Hip Tip

I pulled the halfshafts about a month ago. Was ready to put them back in. Unfortunately, when I started putting in bolts, the plate on the disks had shifted (due to weight).

So, my hip tip is that if you pull your halfshafts, leave in a couple of bolts so that you are correctly lined up.

I am going to try medium threadlocker instead of heavy. While folks recommend heavy, I think that's really only for head bolts. Not 100% sure. I generally check them from time to time anyway...

BTW, Bolts 4 U have the bolts but only at their central warehouse. Takes a couple of days. We have another company here: ABABA who seem to have them in stock all the time.
