RHS 1/2 shaft bolts
Thought i may mention this to everyone who may or may not have these on the back of their falfas - had 4 of the 6 retaining bolts on the hub come loose, and broke off the last 2, smashing the outer CV joint in the wheelwell (yucky - black grease everywhere...). The tow truck driver who picked me up apparently had a later GTV & it happened to him 4 times. It supposedly has something to do with the vibration from the transaxle combined with the rotation of the shaft, which over a period of a couple of months can loosen off the bolts.
Might be a little reminder on when everyone else checked their shaft bolts last...
