I recently tried to tighten up these loose fasteners (the nuts seemed to almost be unthreaded) at the bottom of my front differential.
Now they are weeping gear oil.
Are the nuts just screwed to studs that are threaded into the axle housing? Or are they some kind of special fastener?
If I wanted a little extra pain in the butt (because of two types of fasteners), could I just drain the diff, carefully drill and tap them to a larger size, and install three bolts, or Allen head cap screws there?
Thanks -
