Drive shaft

[Popeyett]

My dbxl keeps throwing out the pins that connect the shaft to the diffs, there held in with grub screws?

Yes red locktite them in place. They have a flat spot on them. Make sure grub screw is tightened on the flat spot.

Make sure the loctite has time to set up. 24hrs is ideal. If you're losing grub screws with red, you're doing something wrong.

It helps to degrease them first as well..... welcome to the dbxl pin kick club

I wonder if you could use a big piece of heat shrink to lock them in. ?

Probably wouldn't last long...

 

[Jshaff16]

You "could" probably be an absolute pain to remove it when need be

Now now, I've done these more times then I can count. Clean the ends with 2+2 or gum cutter let them dry. Get a good new grub screw. Grab the red loctite goop some on the grub screw. Crank that sucker in there good and tight. Let it sit till the next day. Your next post will be asking how to get the grub screw out. Use heat. Once you figure it out you wont have so many pin issues. I use a new grub screw every time.
