Lost power to Rear wheels 2003 - 5 spd

[landrovered]

On one side of the transaxle the rotation is trying to tighten the bolts, the other side it is trying to loosen them.

They may have been torqued to factory spec but if no loctite was applied they can come out over time. IMO, the bolts got loose and then got enough room to move and then sheared a few of them when it finally let go.

use the factory bolts from Suncoast or Pelican and Loctite and a torque wrench are your friends.

If the CV bolts become loose at all, they will snap under torque very quickly.. I think you'll find snapped bolts upon closer evaluation..

I am not good, I have just broken about everything possible in my life and remember the symptoms.. I had this happen to me with a 914 when I was 13 years old!
