[QUOTE="Gitbox, post: 1342527, member: 86950"] Thanks for the quick feedback - love the help I get here! It's only that it was pretty hard to remove. It had LOTS of blue Locktite on it. I took it apart for cleaning because it was all gummed up with excess grease and shmoo thrown off of the u-joint. That is a whole other issue - excessive use of grease by the previous owner or whoever. A case where they thought "if a little is good, a LOT is better". [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif[/IMG] I should have taken a photo before I cleaned it. By the way, it is a shouldered bolt so it can't bind the shifter. Over tightening can only strip the threads. [/QUOTE]
