That requires special hardware, base wire anchors around each bolt, etc. Ask me how I know...one of my first jobs off of a boat was working on A-Star Heli's...still have loom (spin twist) pliers if you are serious though....

i got some of those . from my areospace days think i can manage the hard part will be getting the bolts drilled ... i got one of those mill things im not worried about that . i just dont want it to leak oil... gonna try with out studs but i think clean is the ticket really clean no oil residue think thats what goofed me

Some questions:

Did you torque the bolts when first assembled?

Are the mating surfaces flat or scuffed, worn?

Did you totally clean the bolts, holes before loc-tite? Any oil residue makes it less or ineffective.

Rear cross member/mount, does it mount to the trans or transfer?
