Should I use threadlocker on flywheel bolts?
Flywheel bolts = red loctite. But, blue loctite is still loctite so you’ll be fine.
Should you put loctite on Flexplate bolts?
You ONLY use loctite when you DO NOT torque the bolt. When the bolt streches to the desired length it is immpossible to back out without applying the same amount of force to back it off.
How long does thread lock take to dry?
Full cure is attainable in 24 hours at room temperature, 22°C (72°F), or 1 hour at 93°C (200°F).
What can I use to lock a thread?
Use mineral spirits, or carb or brake cleaner. There is also an aerosol spray cleaner/primer that will shorten the setting time, as well as clean the threads. Add enough threadlocker to the joint to wet the threads (usually a single drop is sufficient), then tighten normally.
How to change a centre lock disc brake rotor?
Shimano’s centre lock rotor system has been around for a while, and makes changing rotors a breeze. All you will need is a standard Shimano cassette tool and a spanner. We show you how its done. Loading…
What kind of Park Tool do I need to install a disc brake rotor?
If the bolts have no threadlocker, you can use thread prep such as Park Tool TLR-1 inside the hub rotor mounting holes. It only takes a little to be effective. IMPORTANT: Do not grease or oil the bolts. The oils can creep outward from the heat of braking and contaminate the rotor. Determine the correct rotor orientation.
How to install a Shimano disc brake rotor?
Example #1: Shimano 1 Mate the adapter with the hub. 2 Thread the bolts through the rotor into the adaptor. 3 Clock the rotor and torque the bolts to the adapter in a star pattern, just as you would when installing onto a 6-bolt hub. 4 Install any washers as applicable. 5 Thread on and torque the lockring.
How many threads does it take to mount a brake?
When mounting the brake to the frame always make sure that at least 6 threads of the brake’s centre bolt are engaged with the internally threa- ded sleeve (Fig. 5). If fewer threads are engaged, the centre bolt may fail during use, resulting in brake detachment from the frame an accident, personal injury or death.
Can you use thread locker on brake pads?
On these types of systems sometimes the factory will secure the caliper bolts with a thread locking compound to prevent them from backing out. When thread locker is used it might be difficult to remove the bolts. However, more importantly the old thread locking compound should be cleaned off and fresh loctite applied when you reassemble.

What kind of threadlocker do I need for hub rotors?
If the rotor came with new bolts, check them for an aerobic threadlocker. If the bolts have no threadlocker, you can use thread prep such as Park Tool TLR-1 inside the hub rotor mounting holes. It only takes a little to be effective.
