Keeping bolts and srews from vibrating out??

[GeoffM24]

I was wondering if you guys use loctite blue or anything to keep all your bolts and screws where their supposed to be?

Are there and tricks to keeping them in place?

Thanks

Though I've never tried it, a local gear head uses a dab of RTV on the last few threads on low torque bolts (like street bike body work). The bolts will vibrate loose but will not fall out.

Depends on what the screw/bolt is inserted into. Any screw/bolt that inserts into a nut, I replace the nut with a Nylock nut. The Nylock nuts have a plastic insert that really cinches the screw/bolt and prevents them from vibrating loose. Nylock nuts should have won the Nobel peace prize :worship: !!!

I use to have a big problem with the screws/bolts from the side panels and pipe mounts vibrating loose. Lock washers fix these problems rather well.

All other applications, use Loctite Blue !!!

Another vote for Loctite ;)

Once you use locktite though, isn't it hard to get those bolts out when you need to???

ya its a bit harder but if you use a pulse wrench its easy

There's different colors/ different strengths.
