The other night my driveshaft came off the diff drive flange. Of the 6 bolts, 2 have stripped the threads in the flange.


Can these be helicoiled safely? Or is that unwise due to the torque forces on the bolts?

Can I simply replace the flange from another diff? If so, how hard is it to do?

Any other suggestions as a quick fix as Ford Fair is only next weekend?
