hi my race face atlas freeride with xtype self extracting bolt keeps getting pulled out by the drive side when tightened to around 40- 45nm, it stays for a bit but after riding a bit on soft dirt in extracts it self again. on Google it says the splines might be bad but I don't see anything wrong with them. they are 24mm hollow tech 2 style. is anyone able to help figure this out please and thank you

I don’t know the details of that setup but that looks like neglect. Was it assembled with mud as grease?
Torque to spec and use loctite on the threads. Should hold fine. You will need to do a deep clean on the threads on the spindle and bolt for the loctite to work correctly. Any contamination and no bueno for it to stay tight.
