D35 drive shaft yoke bolts

[greasemonkey6886]

Anybody got any suggestions on what to replace those annoying little bolts with? Why they even bothered with the hex head is beyond me! Only thin you can use to get them out is a torx bit and if they have been in there for any length of time your gonna break that.
I thought about a 12pt. head like the rest of the driveshaft bolts but not sure if they even make them that small. Anybody got any ideas?

yep, these guys

drill out these 4 holes a tad

easier to get a wrench on the nut

Thanks a million 88_Eddie!! Those little bolts would make the pope cuss! I'm guessing no clearance issues with the nuts on the back?

nope, you can get a 1/4" ratchet or at least a box wrench on them

they're a life saver. the stock ones were a piss poor design
