Hey fella's,

Where would I want to put some blue loctite to keep my Meszaro's locknut from coming loose?

On the axle/nut threads or on the 2 pinch bolts? How much do I put on? 1 drop? 2?



Thanks,

Glamis

um, well, blue Loctite isn't JB Weld for starters. On the back of the package it says use for nuts/bolts to keep from coming loose due to vibration. Lots of people here use it, trust me...

Anyone else???

Bean, you blew out a carrier and bearing because you used to much??? That seems odd...please explain...

All you need to do is put it together, I do however put a spot of sealer in the end of the allen nut to keep out dirt. Bob
