Stripped driveshaft flange studs!?!?..
My flange studs are stripped and wondering what I should do. I look them up on microfiche and the part number is the same as the flanges with bolts?parts stores are telling me dealer item. Call dealership and the guy is helpless on the phone. Should I remove all studs and replace them with bolts? Where can I find these studs at? Are they 12*1.25?

You can bang the studs out with a hammer pretty easily. If I recall, I believe they are a 14mm socket, so probably not a 12mm bolt. Probably closer to an M8 or M10. Even if the stud is stripped, you should be able to figure out the thread size at a hardware store.
I would think that replacing with high quality bolts shouldn't be a problem, but be on the lookout for vibration afterwards. If you bring one of the studs into the dealership, I bet they could find the part number more easily (easy for me to say, as I have a dealership within walking distance...)
I should add that the bolted connections on my driveshaft have lock washers on each side (against the head and against the nut). If you end up replacing with bolts, you may want to pick up a packet of lock washers too.

I am trying to figure out how to put a drive shaft on with studs in the flange.
I have never seen a drive flange with studs on it. Toyota's all require bolts.

I think some of the newer ones have studs.
Why I have no clue
Maybe there even talking about CV axles Does Not Toyota call them Drive Shafts
Then they call what we call drive shafts propeller shafts .
If they are indeed not the cv axles one has to be careful to make sure what bolt you use is a proper fit in the holes.

Both drive flanges coming out of my transfer case have studs to attach the driveshafts. The drive flanges coming out of the front differential to the half-shafts do as well.
For me, the only bolted on connections were from the driveshafts to the differentials.

Like I said. I have never seen a Toyota transfer case with studs on the drive flanges. Never! Any model for that matter - Tacoma - Land Cruiser.
This is standard Toyota set-up...

I guess a picture is worth a thousand words here...
This is what I have seen on every toyota drive shaft...part lists for 81-95.

How about we start with just what you are working on?? Please
We also should all know this is a Toyota.
No telling just what may have been done!! Who knows what drive train might be under it .
I also have never seen Studs on the drive shafts of my older Toyota`s it sure drove me nuts to find them on my 2000 Tacoma.
The way you install the drive shaft put it on the stud end keeping the bolts loose then put the bolts in the other end.
No biggee
If you can`t find what you need I am sure my parts people could figure it out.

Thank you Zuk. I can't believe I got that much questioning about it. I surely don't have a one off vehicle. I just put the shaft back on. The nuts still tighten completely without spinning. I plan on replacing them this winter while my truck sits for salt. And I get to replace my bench seat with buckets and install my double din center console. Yep I said it.

At no time did you ever say just what vehicle you were working on
Or what transfer case.
Being you posted in the 86 to 95 section we never saw those studs in the transfer case flange.
That is why we all were confused.
Being it was a Toyota Odin knows what drive train might be under it.

wyoming9, I hate to disagree with you and snobdds, but I assure you that my '92 has driveshaft flange studs too. If I knew how to post photos on this forum, I would have shown you long ago. Alas, I am far too lazy to figure that out tonight.
By the way, the reason I know it for a fact is because I had a friend help me drop my tranny last month. He banged out one of the studs in the flange without putting a nut on it, which boogerd up the threads. I had to take it to the grinder to dress it before I could get a nut back on it.

Perhaps it is a V6 thing and never having pulled a drive shaft off a transfer case that they had not all ready been replaced by bolts I had no clue.
Because till I see these vehicles they have several hundred thousand miles .
Learned something new!! Which is always good .
