Loctite on ring gear bolts
Installing my Lokka today and I'm at the step where I reinstall the ring gear onto the carrier. The Lokka instructions recommend using Loctite on these bolts but don't specify which one. In all the installation videos and write-ups they don't ever mention Loctite and it doesn't appear as if they came from the factory with it. Soooo..... What do you guys think? Loctite or no Loctite? Red or Blue? Leaning towards red but want to hear what everyone else thinks. Attachment 6991Attachment 6992
Re: Loctite on ring gear bolts
Spicer never recommended it for the ring gear. I have built a number of differentials and never used it. Just make sure the bolts are torqued properly

Thanks Steve. Will save the Loctite for something else. Now to figure out what brain-cramp decided to make the red thread locker tube blue and the blue thread locker tube red...Attachment 6993
