New ring bolts.. Do I need 'em?
So I'm doing the Kia diff swap on my 85 GSL-SE and have read some guys (other general forums) replace their ring gear bolts after swapping ring gears out and such.
Do I use what I have from the Kia or pursue this further and find new Kia ring bolts? Thx |
Are they stretch bolts, if not I don't see a problem with reusing them? You may want to ask in the first gen section.
|
The Kia FSM doesn't call them out as stretch bolts, nor requiring them to be replaced after servicing so I might just reuse them as you suggest.
Gonna do some more searching and if I can't decide maybe I'll hit the 1st gen forum. Thx! |

no matter what I'd put a dab of RTV on them to help them stay sealed, or RTV and blue locktite

10-4. Went ahead and reused them with some red loctite and torqued to spec.
