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.

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.

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