-- four lock tabs for eight bolts. Number 4 in the parts diagram.</p>

Not only do those bolts transmit power and braking forces,
they also transmit cornering loads to the differential and
its mounts!

BUT as I'm working my way back from the transmission

differential---VOILA, two of the 4 bolts holding
the left half- shaft and inboard disc to the
differential are gone!!!!!!! The half-shaft is
hanging by the remaining two bolts which were on
their way out as well!!!!</div>
