 ==Drive Shafts==
-To get the power from the [[Drivetrain#Differential|diff]] to the rear [[Wheels]], two drive shafts are used. These bolt to the [[Drivetrain#Output_Flanges|output flanges]] at one end using six Allen-head bolts, and slot into the wheel hub at the other, secured by a 22mm nut.
+To get the power from the [[Drivetrain#Differential|diff]] to the rear [[Wheels]], two drive shafts are used. These bolt to the [[Drivetrain#Output_Flanges|output flanges]] at one end using six Allen-head bolts, and slot into the wheel hub at the other, secured by a 32mm nut.
 At each end of the drive shaft are CV or constant-velocity joints, which allow the driveshaft to turn at an angle to both the wheel and the diff. Although the shaft as a whole is a sturdy unit, these joints should not be pushed to their limits. Therefore, when removing the differential it is important to hang or support the driveshafts somehow. Allowing them to drop to the floor will damage the CV joints.

		+	==Clutch Issues==
		+
		+	Clutch problems manifest themselves in all sorts of ways, from incredibly low biting points to reluctant gear changes and kangarooing. Because most people think the clutch works through black magic, they always fear the worst.
		+
		+	Surprisingly, a lot of these issues are simple fixes that can be done yourself with simple tools. For more info, check out our [[Clutch#Common_Problems\|list of clutch problems]].
