They sheer off cause they come loose.

Loctite and locknut them.

 

[no excuses]

I am running the ARP's and Longfields driver flanges, I also am running the six pin setup. Only problem is getting them offf lol, they aere tough to get off with the six pin upgrade.

How about just tapping them to 3/8" and using grade 8? I did this back in the day.

I found the pins at Vancouver Bolt.

ARP studs and add two more pins. No more issues. And as jobless said the main reason for them breaking is they are coming loose. Its the same thing when people shear off knuckle studs. They come loose before they shear off. I check mine every time before I go.
Its a Toyota thing.

I just drilled mine out to 12x1.25 studs with just stock pins and have never broke them even with 44 Tsls. O ya and the driver side was lose for the last year I was just to lazy to fix :redneck:

 

[dove'd85]

i am going to use some 3/8 grade 8 bolts instead.... i no they were tights i check them before every trip, aswell as every other nut/bolt. thanks for the info

Or if you have oil on the gasket surfaces, had a bad seal do that to me on my floater. Keep them dry and use the paper gaskets, not silicone. They grip better.

Most of the dudes I know got feed up and just use 3/8 bolts. Make sure to use grade 5 bolts. The grade 8 bolts are to brittle and will brake when shock loaded.

I have the ARPs, no issues in 3 years, just recheck for tightness before every run. Mine are usually tight when I check them.

another issue is if the studs them selves work slightly loose. Everytime you tighten the nuts the stud works a little further out, thus coming loose again till they snap. Also if the centering pins are gone the hub will still want to move around a little causing the chance of breaking studs.

I better go check mine,,,,,,:wtf: cause i can.

run 3/8 grade 8 bolts, you wont need to run the cone washers anymore. Thats what i did.

Anyone who wants to do this, I volunteer to dispose of their cone washers in the proper manner for them. :redneck:
