It's a shame you guys didn't catch one of the many posts that listed the exact size of bolts needed for your new sleds.

its not the same, 13-15 bolts are 20mm lower and 40 mm upper in length, axys is 40 mm both upper and lower. lower driver shaft on axys isnt threaded all the way out and a 20 mm bolt doesnt event reach the threads

Yes. I know. Because I've read all about it.

very relevant when A. you are installing an axys shaft in your pro, and B. when it is literally in my quote that it was asked about the axys bolts


If you can tell me honestly that you have already read all about them being the same size bolt in the axys section. I will send you a "im sorry". Pm.

But from the way you worded you first post, it sounded like you may have ordered the wrong ones first and then had to get the correct size..........

Life is good.... Pray for snow...

IMO... upgrade the bolt... No it won't solve all issues... but it may help to stave off some.
The ARP bolts will be tougher than anything you can buy at an industrial fastener supply.

Clean the old locktite from the threads in the shaft (get a cheap 10mm-1.25 tap at the hardware store)... clean the threads with brake cleaner in/out and let dry...use plenty of blue loctite... If your splines are really loose like some have observed... do something about it.

EDIT: I no longer recommend the NordLock washers on the driveshaft...

Here's what I'm going with.

Clean the bolt with brake cleaner... even if new... clean the threads in the shafts with a tap (cheap at your local hardware store)... and blow out with brake cleaner... Let dry and then apply liberal amounts of the blue liquid loctite.

While none of the ones that I've installed them on have loosened... I feel that clean, oil free, threads with liberal blue locktite liquid is the best.
