    Gear diff Bolts

    Anybody have an idea how to remove this bolts on the diff unit. Are they reverse thread?

    There's no reason for them to be reverse thread, and the ones I've dealt with were all conventional. I'd mention though that those are good sized bolts, they're 12.9 grade, and they're probably thread-locked (Loctited). So get out your big impact gun....
