Title: Brittle Bolts
Post by: ackland3 on December 24, 2014, 10:52:02 am

Changed out my gear oil in the rear diff and went to snug up the bolts and two twisted off had to drill and retap to 3/8-24 one was right above the axle where it comes into the pumpking and the other on the bottom. Do I have anything to worry about as long as it don't leak?
