Aixtreme89, I'm not seeing links or any pics that your talking about. I understand what safety wire is and does, but how can you use it on this application? What would you wire it too?

i just posted the link... you safety wire the bolts together, can can safety wire 2,3, or 4 together.... like this http://www.ultralightnews.com/pilots...safetywire.htm

Here are the tools you could buy... http://www.aircraftspruce.com/menus/...wiretools.html
You can just buy some .032" wire from the hardware store and use a pair of pliers to twist them...

Loctite is your friend. You'll need to use the red stuff - its intended for high heat applications. Only drawback to it - youll have to heat up the bolt to break em loose otherwise they WILL snap.
-P.

Why use stud and bearing mount when the blue is more than enough? You don't use that stuff in applications like that. Not a good idea.

Dont listen to them... lol.. Safety wire is the ay to go, I use it all the time.....

Heres maximum motorsports write up of there K-member install. It covers stock removal, but the intstall will give you a pretty good idea of what you need to do. Then just read your repair manual to follow there step by step install procedure... http://www.maximummotorsports.com/co...p/MMKM-2r8.pdf
