Just doing the rear brakes on my 84 Aspy. Couldnt get the rear pivot bolt loose so had to drive the couch down to the local garage and have a guy put a torch, then an air gun to it. It did come loose, thank God. I noticed when I got back home and removed the bolt that there was RED Lock-tite on the threads. Is this a good idea??
Should I use Anti-sieze on the treads when I put it all back together?? How bout the Blue Lock-tite?? I dont want to round off the head of the bolt in the future.
Mechanic told me to use the BlUE because its removal whereby the RED locks things up pretty good. He said the anti-sieze grease on the threads is not a good idea. Is he right?? He is a CARmechanic
thanks
