Drive/Half shaft bolts coming lose???

Which Loctite did you use? Make sure the male and female threads are oil/grease/never sieze free, and use the Red Loctite. They even sell a cleaner/prep product to ensure a good bond. IIRC these are blind cap screws, not thru-bolted? I supose you could also drill and safety wire them, but that shouldn't be necessary.

I will be more thorough with the cleaning this time and ensure I'm using the red.

Thanks,

note that, no matter how carefully you assemble your cv, some grease will still squeeze out into the bolt holes. my suggestion is to get everything in place and, just prior to inserting the bolt, give the bolt holes a final clean to make sure the bolt won't carry any grease into the threads on the flange.

New bolts and Loctite.
