Carrier bearing mounting bolts, cotter pin bolts?
2 Attachment(s)
Just curious if the carrier bearing mounting bolts are supposed to be cotter pin bolts. I don't see a good reason for cotter pin bolts.
As I found them, there was a bolt and washer below, and a lock washer and nut on top. There were no cotter pins, though one bolt had what was left of one. Thank you |

Fine thread too, right? They always have those but I have never seen cotter pins in the holes...

Welcome back, Kotter! Couldn't help myself. Nope, no Cotter pins required in that application. Looks like someone went in and did a little dirty work at some point.

Those are the right bolts and nuts. I guess maybe they had voter pin sin them from the factory, I just don't ever remember seeing them.
I lost one of those oddball nuts a couple weeks ago...I know the direction it went so I guess it will turn up. |

I dont think a cotter pin would be as effective as a lock washer in that application. I have had several of these trucks and never observed a hole in the bolt for a cotter pin used in that location. so dont read too much or over analyse the hole deal.
