Re: [DML] Brush with Death

Jake,

I considered applying Loctite but did not because of the high torque
necessary to remove the nut and concerns about applying heat so close
to the rear bearings (as is generally necessary with the high-strength
threadlockers).   However, it probably would be a good idea to use a
low or medium strength threadlocker at this location to prevent loosing
and prevent corrosion at the threads without having to use heat to
break the bond.  Perhaps more important is the rechecking of torque
while still on the jacks and again after a few hundred miles.

Any suggestions from the full time pro's?
