Blue locktite is wrench removable without heat and
red can also be loosened without heat with sufficient force but heat is
preferable, you don't need enough heat to change the properties of the metal
though.

Ummmm, that?s not
what it says on the bottle, when it?s cured, it?s permanent, it might as well
be welded, you?d need a mighty big wrench.

Umm, its not a welder. Locktite
will let go when you put a wrench to it.

Front disc brake conversion....red
loctite?
Hi
everyone,
I have a front disc brake
conversion kit here from AAJ Brakes, everything looks really nice. The only
questionable thing, to me, is using RED LOCTITE in between the adapter and
spindle. As far as I know, once this adapter has red loctite on it, it will
become a permanent part of the spindle. So if you were to go back to drums
or whatever (probably not likely but it?s nice to have that option) your
spindles are affectively useless?..unless you use heat to remove which is
not recommended on steering components. There isn?t a lot of spare
spindles?.down here anyway. Would it be better to use a sleeve locking
compound or similar which could be removed, with difficulty, if needed.
Rather than using the permanent red thread
loctite?
Anyone been through
this?
Thanks
