Loc- Tite

Post by Sloppy Does »

When you guys remove the limb bolts (4) Are you using loc-tite when you put them back on or not ? Im not sure sure I want bolts that I may not be able to remove later without a hacksaw.

I use blue loc-tite on all fasteners, and let it cure 24 hrs. Won't vibrate loose but you can still take it apart later if you need to.

I'd buy better bolts mainly the small ones
As the allen heads will strip.

To loosen Loctite put an allen wrench in the head, warm up (not red hot) the allen wrench just above the bolt with a small torch and that will liquefy the Loctite and make the bolt grow. You may need to change allen wrenches after heating and before turning :wink:
