Do you know how long the bolts need to be? I’m thinking 50 for the front and 56 for the back but I’m not sure I’ll probably just buy 60mm and cut them down.

I got 65mm and there way to long I’m thinking

I don’t have a caliber to measure @ahrav or @Linesflag you guys have any measurements :call_me_hand:

50mm. Both front and back.

I got a pack with 40mm-65mm in 5mm increments coming in the mail. Now to cut the motor shafts

With 50mm bolts you can use domed hex nuts on the front which looks really good imo. 47mm Bolts would be even better.

Oh that’s interesting. Can we see it from the other side?

Sure, it’s just bolt heads and some washers to get the dome nuts to fit. Like I said, 47mm would be ideal, but you’d have to cut your own, I don’t think anyone sells those oddball sizes.

Oh woops I didn’t realize it got so off topic. I thought this was on the drive gear

Can permatex 29000 be used instead of loctite 648. I bought my drives second hand and they were assembled with blue 242. I dont have a puller but I do have a pencil torch. Do you suggest pulling the gear, cleaning, then reassembling with green 29000 or just applying the 2900 over top the blue. @Boardnamics
The blue is way stronger than I thought. I was thinking it was gonna be easy peazy

Do it right and take everything off and start fresh.

But green is self wicking

I believe it works better on a clean surface

What about the 29000 instead of 648. I tried advance auto, autozone, but O’reilys had permatex 29000 only. Its all I could find locally

Where are you located? You can get the green loctite on amazon

I would rather drive an hour than wait for days. Just wanted to know if its compatible with the gap between pinion and motor shaft. Kinda large gape

It is? It’s an insanely close clearance (0.02mm around)

For Permatex, you cannot use 29000. You need 64000. There’s more to it than just the color. 29000 is a penetrating threadlocker, but what you need is a sleeve retainer, which is what 64000 is.
