[DeTomaso] bolt part #

[SOBill at aol.com]

Mike,
 
Just installed those exact parts on my car. They are a better fit  than the 
OEM parts are what Wilkinson sells for u-joint bolts..
 
There is no room for a washer under the bolt head on the drive axle  side 
of the flange. Be sure to turn the bolt head hex so the head will be pulled  
flat against the flange.
 
At the ZF flange, mount the nut on the ZF side you can get the  bolts out 
without difficulty.
 
I put a thin coat of grease on the bolt shank to prevent rust  forming 
between the bolt and the flange. It took a hammer to get some of the OEM  bolts 
out of the flange.
 
On my OEM axles bolts, the driver's side had washers  the passenger's side 
did not have washers.
 
 
 
Have fun  today,

Bolt-AN7-A-11         5/8 Hex    7/16 dia. 1 7/32 long
Lock Nut-AN365-720A      7/16  20
Washer-716                   7/16 AN flat

Are these the correct numbers and  are
they supposed to have a washer
under the nut  ?

Thanks,    Mike
