Author Message   Andymnelson Posted on Monday, August 16, 2010 - 01:55 pm:        I am in the middle of swapping to the 9 gearing. I have pressed the sprocket out of the rotor, and pressed the new one in. Service manual says to tighten the 8 bolts between those 2 pieces to 90-110 in/lbs. It makes no mention of Loc-Tite. My question: Really? No Loc-Tite?? That's not too much torque, and it sure would suck to have one of those back out! What say you (those who have done this)?   Pkman Posted on Monday, August 16, 2010 - 02:33 pm:        They do need lock-tight. I believe the bolts are supposed to be discarded and new ones that have lock-tight on them are used.   Andymnelson Posted on Monday, August 16, 2010 - 02:36 pm:        Gothca, thanks for the reply!   Husky Posted on Monday, August 16, 2010 - 05:21 pm:        Be sure to chase the threads in the wheel to remove residuals of the old adhesive before installing new bolts. I forgot to and later had a hard time getting the replacement bolts out due to the build up of the pre applied loctite. Husky
