Bolt size?
Does anyone know the size of the bolt used to connect the C/V joint on the rear driveshaft to the yoke? I've tried both M8x1.25 and 5/16-18 and although the M8 bolt seems to fit better, after about 4 threads it seems to get really tight, and I don't want to force it. Those are definately not the bolt holes I want to have weak threads on... or stripped for that matter! The 5/16 bolt only gets about 1-1.5 threads before it snags.

Thanks for the infor Old_Paint. The driveshaft is an aftermarket piece, but I finally found the bolt. It's a 5/16-24NF. I got both 1.5 and 1.25" just to be on the safe side.
Thanks again for the advice from both of ya'll.
