I need some "Drive member retaining bolts" quickly

richardjeaton · Apr 2, 2009

After shearing 4 out of 5 of my nearside rear ones then I desperately need to get hold of the bolts that hold the sticky out bit in the centre of the wheel that holds all the gubbins inside...

According to the workshop manual they are called "Drive member retaining bolt" but my local Landy place didn't have any in

Any ideas where I'll be able to get any sharpish?

They are number 6 on this diagram

Cheers

if you do got to a general fasteners place dint let them sell you bolts that are made from cheese

early will be 3/8 unf (9/16 head) and late should be m10 (17mm head).

Some replacement ones from paddocks and the like have a 13mm head to stop less cleaver people over tightening them and they also give a bit more clearance when using alloys on the front but they are indeed M10. Or as stated before 3/8 UNF but that was really really early ones I thought. Make sure the bolts you buy arerated at 8.8 or 10.9's otherwise like sean said they will sell you some cheap shiny bolts made of play dogh. Jai

Cheers for the offer and if I don't have any luck then I'll drop you a PM.

Thanks for all the advice - A place near me supposedly has some so I'm going to try them in the morning. I did look on paddocks etc online but couldn't find them listed

Thanks

Always check what bolts do.
These ones do not just hold all the gubbins in place. These actually transmit the drive.

The splined drive shaft forces the small outer hub (part 4) to turn.
Part 12 is the inner rotating hub the wheel bolts on to.
The question is this - what transfers the torque of driving from part 4 to part 12?

Looks like six little bolts in SHEAR to me.
Make sure you get high quality high tensile bolts, and use a torque wrench I reckon.

All sorted

Managed to get my other car on the road this morning (long story) to get out and find some. The local Landy main dealer didn't have them in stock - what a suprise, 3rd thing I've tried to get from them and 3rd thing they haven't had in stock :doh: But... they told me about another independant place near me that I didn't know about

They didn't have any new ones either but phoned me back to say that I could have the ones off a used axle they had. Went and got them and they are now fitted to my Landy so I'm back on the road at last

Cheers
