    Default Loctite on ring gear bolts

    Installing my Lokka today and I'm at the step where I reinstall the ring gear onto the carrier. The Lokka instructions recommend using Loctite on these bolts but don't specify which one. In all the installation videos and write-ups they don't ever mention Loctite and it doesn't appear as if they came from the factory with it. Soooo..... What do you guys think? Loctite or no Loctite? Red or Blue? Leaning towards red but want to hear what everyone else thinks. Name:  ImageUploadedByTapatalk1424122998.179291.jpg

    Spicer never recommended it for the ring gear. I have built a number of differentials and never used it. Just make sure the bolts are torqued properly

    Thanks Steve. Will save the Loctite for something else. Now to figure out what brain-cramp decided to make the red thread locker tube blue and the blue thread locker tube red...Name:  ImageUploadedByTapatalk1424132669.360551.jpg
