And the bolts go in from the wheel end in the outer end of the shaft. On 
the later cars, with the beefier uprights, the bolts need to go into the 
hub before attaching the hub to the stub axle. The bolts can not be 
removed/installed with the hub in place.

I had to open up the hub around the bolt head when I installed the CV 
joints last winter. Impossible to tighten the bolts to the adapters with 
the hex head Aircraft Spruce bolts. 12-pt ARP bolts would probably have 
worked, but they are fully threaded and I did not want to have threads 
through the flanges.
