A threaded fastener (40) has opposite hand threads provided thereon for securing two components together, such as a companion flange and a flange yoke assembly that is used in a vehicular drive train system. The companion flange includes a hollow cylindrical sleeve portion and a disc-shaped flange portion (22) having an aperture (24) formed therethrough. The flange yoke includes a disc-shaped flange portion (31) and a yoke portion having an aperture (33) formed therethrough. The flange yoke aperture is aligned with the companion flange aperture. A threaded fastener (40) extends through the companion flange aperture (24) and the flange yoke aperture (33). The threaded fastener (40) includes a first threaded portion (43) having a first hand that is disposed within the companion flange aperture (24). The threaded fastener (40) further includes a second threaded portion (44) having a second hand that is disposed within the flange yoke aperture (33). The first hand is opposite to said second hand such that when a nut (50) is screwed onto the threaded fastener (40) to secure the companion flange and flange yoke together, the threaded fastener (40) is effectively prevented from rotating. <IMAGE> |
