Need help with stripped prop shaft bolts
#21
This has happened to me on a couple occasions, and I used a cut-off wheel to remove the head of the bolts. Once you've cut it off, I found that the bolt just threaded off easily - the galvanic process between the head of the bolt and prop-shaft kept it stuck. The first time I did it, I removed the bolt head with a cheap dremel tool, with a cut-off wheel. You just need to be very careful to not hit the rubber gasket on the propshaft, or you'll destroy the integrity of the seal and throw all the grease out. You can do this yourself!

Their new EZ lock cutoff wheel is much better than the old ones.

The bolts on the trans end will be the same story. I just did the clutch 2 months ago, so nothing is seized or corroded. It's a simple matter of proper tools and technique.
If the same methods are used on the front, expect the same results.
Just leave them until you get here, I will get them all out without any cutting no problem.
