[QUOTE="cobrajeff96, post: 1582747, member: 29141"] I'd congratulate you and mail you a six pack if you were able to shear off a driveshaft bolt. I'd also nominate you for a Guinness record. But seriously, just run the bellhousing bolts down with the 1/2 ratchet and put them pretty tight (not with a breaker and cheater). I've never had one come loose, but blue locktite will be peace of mind (not red). It's ok to use red on driveshaft bolts and is a requirement on wheel bearing nuts, but literally nothing else in the car should be getting red loctite. [I]Maybe [/I]brake claiper to spindle bolts if you're suspecting the bolt threads are too worn. But rest assured, the only way you'll ever remove a red bolt is with a direct application of a propane torch for at least 15 seconds. [/QUOTE]
