All:

I'm in the process of replacing the u-joints on my GT6-3, and as the
axle flange bolt heads are a little chewed up, I'm replacing them
w/grade 8's.  Question:  is there any reason pro or con to use lock
washers on these bolts?  (These are the bolts that connect the u-j yoke
and diff flanges ...)

Question #2:  How does one torque a bolt where there is no room for a
torque wrench?

(My answer to question #2 to date has been:  "by feel...")
