Driveshaft Bracket Bolt

Re: Driveshaft Bracket Bolt
U might try calling them and having them measure it. Usually it lists the length on the parts list. Or maybe a member on here can pull it out and measure for u?

Re: Driveshaft Bracket Bolt
Get a pencil or use a screwdriver, stick it in the hole, mark the depth of the pencil/screwdriver exposed, pull out and determine the depth based on the length of pencil/screwdriver on the other side of your mark.
The reason why there is no bolt length specified is the halfshaft bolt is shanked at the beginning and only partially threaded towards the end. The unthreaded portion is there to align and hold the halfshaft in place correctly. Make sure your bolts aren't just standard M10x1.25 bolts because they leave a void between the bolt itself and the halfshaft mounting hole. Regular bolts will back out and cause all sorts of drivetrain issues. There's a reason Honda charges almost 20 bucks for three bolts

ahh i did not know that! hmmm, that sounds like it may make it a little more difficult to re-thread this if it is not fully threaded the whole way down.

Re: Driveshaft Bracket Bolt
The block where the intermediate shaft mounts to can be tapped or re-threaded if needed. If your bolts aren't like the ones pictured though, that's probably why the threads stripped out in the first place.

Re: Driveshaft Bracket Bolt
Yes, the correct bolt with fresh threads may be a solution. Another option before re-threading is coating the bolt threads with loctite 222MS threadlocker. Its purple in color and is a low strength formula. All depends on how severe your situation is.

Re: Driveshaft Bracket Bolt
i attempted to thread in the bolts without any threadlocker to see if it would work better with the correct bolts. it threaded right in, however it never got any tighter. just spun and spun. i'll try some threadlocker next, but i have a feeling the damage to the threads is too much for threadlocker.
