Hey Everyone. I see our hosts sell the nuts and bolts to connect the prop shaft to the differential, but what about the nuts and bolts to connect it to the transfer case? Are they the same on each end? if not, can anyone tell me the size of them?
Two of mine are stripped, and if I take it apart to figure out the size, I won't be able to drive out to the store to get them.

I think all of them are 3/8" bsf (or some british thread). I replaced mine with 3/8" UNF grade 8 and nylock nuts.

Note that the originals have a thick unthreaded shank where the shearing force is applied instead of a grip with threads in the shear zone, like most 'normal' fasteners of that length.

Okay, so they are in fact the same on either end of the prop shaft? If so, I'll just order them next time I place an order.
