novazeus Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) if u are changing ur own axle bolts, please follow these instructions. my vendor is gonna change mine out before shipping me the wheel and i'm gonna email him this as well. most common mistake is not cleaning the threads, female and male first. i used acetone or 99% isopropyl alcohol. cotton qtips to clean and toothpicks to apply the loctite. 1. Prepare the Surface Preparation is the easiest step to forget when applying a threadlocker, but it’s arguably the most important for longevity and performance. In manufacturing, fasteners may come coated with a corrosion inhibitor. These should always be removed using an appropriate aqueous or solvent-based cleaner before application. If they’re not removed, corrosion inhibitors can impede the chemical reaction that causes threadlockers to turn from a liquid to a solid during the curing process. In maintenance and repairs, grease, dust and other contaminants can easily get into threads, inhibiting the threadlocker. These should always be cleaned off before applying the adhesive. Cleaning and prepping effectively allows the threadlocker to achieve optimal mechanica, thermal, and chemical performance. https://www.henkel-adhesives.com/us/en/applications/all-applications/industry-insights/how-to-apply-threadlockers.html Edited February 17, 2023 by novazeus 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
