I'm trying to figure out which way to turn the rear end bolts on my drive shaft to take it off?

Good afternoon,

The bolts turn counterclockwise to loosen up.

Thank you for that. I hope I can get them off to fix my center support housing.

They have thread sealer on them. Make sure you use new bolts and thread sealer. The bolts are one time use only.

I would go to Fastenall. I cannot tell you the price. My guess is about 2 to 3 dollars each.

Oh, okay. I don't have the money to get them right now. If I put the ones I take out back in how long will they last?

No telling. They could last an hour, a day or a week.
