Hy all, by my Driveshafts every time the screw M3x2,5 is lossened and the pin 2x10 moves out. I take every time thread lock, but mostly some screw is lossened after few rounds. I had the Problem by the 2011 and now by the 2012 also.  What should i do? Has anybody the same problem? I think i take the Dremel and made a little flat surface, but then the pin is weakened, and my 5.0 motor has much power. Maybe someone can help me by my problem. thx a lot Christian |

I use the pins which have a flat spot as standard, or I use a Dremel like yourself. It shouldn't weaken the pin too much as the small grub screw is only to stop the pin moving. Part Number 305392 SKiddins |

the "top" brand of pins are much better, they have a much more obvious flat spot. Had no problems since changing to these. |

I grind a flat with a Dremel, and Loctite (or superglue) the grub screw in (with a VERY small amount of Loctite - otherwise you'll glue the joint up as well  ). To remove, heat the joint up carefully with a gas lighter to burn the Loctite off.I've never had driveshaft pins coming loose after that. |

Put some heat shrink around the shaft, works for me as even if the screw loosens it won't fall out and trash the hub. |
