Posted September 9, 200915 yr comment_294246 Has any one had any luck using Locktite to secure the diff. ring gear bolts? Bending the tabs over fatigues them and I'd like to come up with a method that allows me to change my Quaife in and out as necessary.

September 9, 200915 yr comment_294249 I always use red loctite. You could also safety wire them. I haven't done that but have seen it done. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/33123-locking-the-ring-gear-bolts/#findComment-294249 Share on other sites More sharing options...
September 10, 200915 yr comment_294259 With red loctite don't you have to heat the part to get the bolts loose later?He seems to be saying that he wants to change the ring occasionally. Just asking, not criticizing. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/33123-locking-the-ring-gear-bolts/#findComment-294259 Share on other sites More sharing options...
September 10, 200915 yr comment_294269 I have used red, without bending the tabs. They came off without heating using a half inch impact gun.

Green is pretty hardcore, but red you can take back off without heat.

September 10, 200915 yr comment_294342 I love lock wire. If it's good enough for aircraft and military weapons it's good enough for me too. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/33123-locking-the-ring-gear-bolts/#findComment-294342 Share on other sites More sharing options...
