word to the wise
tonight on my way home from work i lost my 2 bolts that hold the carrier bearing for the rear driveline.
it happened beciase i was in a hurry when i did my clutch and obviously didnt check to make sure that i tightened them up after replacing my clutch recently .
i lucked out and it happened when i was in a fairly low traffic area and slow speed, and not 3 miles back while i was doing 70 mph down the highway.
no damage to the drive line , just gotta replace a couple of bolts.
lesson learned: always no matter how big of a hurry your in always always check the torque specs and remember to tigthen bolts down that you put in jsut to hold it in place for the time being. i got lucky this time.
:pat:
