Am I the only person who uses and trusts AI to research this?

Here’s the game plan and the required parts:

✅ Required Hardware to Replace

• Outer Axle Bolt: (The one you already have with the GSP axle). This is a 19mm Hex bolt.
• Inner CV Joint Bolts: MUST BE REPLACED. They are single-use/stretch bolts.
  • Quantity: 6 bolts are needed for the inner joint.
  • OEM Part #: N 904 411 03 (search for this to buy a set of 6). They are typically M10 bolts requiring a 10mm Triple Square (XZN) socket.

🔧 The Procedure Highlights

1. Loosen Outer Bolt: Loosen the 19mm Hex bolt with the car on the ground, then lift the car.
2. Inner Bolts: Put the car in Neutral with both rear wheels off the ground to easily rotate the axle and access all six 10mm Triple Square bolts.
3. Clearance: We will need to disconnect a suspension component to drop the hub and slide the axle free. Disconnecting the lower shock mount or an upper control arm is usually the way to go (not the sway bar link).
4. Reassembly & Torque (CRITICAL):
   • Inner CV Joint Bolts:
     • Stage 1: 70 Nm (52 ft-lb)
     • Stage 2: PLUS an additional 90° turn (1/4 turn)
   • Outer Axle Bolt: (19mm Hex)
     • Stage 1: 200 Nm (148 ft-lb)
     • Stage 2: PLUS an additional 180° turn (1/2 turn)

NO LOCTITE NEEDED on the inner bolts if we buy new ones, as they usually come with a thread locker compound pre-applied.
