Julie: I can't help you on that cap thingy, but I can on the CV joint bolts.
No loc-tite on the bolts. Totally not necessary.

Subject: [tcb] Hey Bay peeps!
I am trying to replace the new Chinese CVs (one of these new ones makes a bad
noise and does not let the wheel turn freely and I had a real mechanic double
check my work and he couldn't make it work any better) that are on my '71 with
brandy new German ones. But I found a hole in the cap that keeps the tranny
fluid from leaking into the CV. I just bought another one of these caps
today.
I didn't think it was going to be hard to pop the holy one off and pop the new
one in place but yikes! That thing must be glued in place! Is that right? Am
I supposed to glue it in? If yes then what sort of glue stuff should I use?
And someone told me to Lock-tite my CV bolts in place. Should I really do
this? It seems impossible to keep grease out of threads and off of the bolts
with a CV packed full of grease. I wouldn't think Lock-tite would work with it
being greasy. And if it did work I might never get the bolts out.
Thanks,
Julie
