Every thing you said is 100% true! , but i still use red loctite on all my mods@keda69
Ace recommends blue/Medium Strength. Mechanic/ Techs, etc. will tell you blue/ Medium Strength. You do not want to use red!
Yeah, yeah....You aren't planning to take them off, but who the hell knows what the future will bring.
Maybe they creak, squeak and you need to get a new version as the JLU guys had to do... Maybe you get into a fender bender and they have to be pulled so they can do the repair... and on and on.
You do want to be able to get them off without a major pain in the future, if necessary.
Recommend you use the blue and be sure you torque to 80ft/lb,. just as Ace recommends.
Do know that RED Loctite is only removable once cured by heating up the parts it is on to 500°F (260°C).
