Topic: what kind of threadlocker?

[Zane]

just got my new ARP knuckle studs, and i was wondering what color of threadlocker you guys used.

i have used blue also, but if its not 100 percent new and clean i will use red...

[daniresch]

I use red when I don't ever plan taking something back out

A little heat on the stud, nut or bolt will soften the red and they come right out. All I use is red.

Red, dont even bother with the blue

I only use blue on 10mm or smaller bolts that don't need a lot of "glue"



Or be a badass and use green Sleeve Retainer

sounds like red is the way to go. thanks for the quick replies.

Black, or some of the stuff they produce for the industrial side of things...

I have a bottle of unknown type of loctite, i got it from a friend that put together some precision high dollar machinery at a complex out here in Hillsboro, he said only use it on stuff you NEVER want to come apart
