Red or Blue Loctite Flywheel and Pressure Plate Bolts?
What is everyone using for loctite on their flywheels and pressure plate bolts? The red high temp or the blue medium strength? Seems to be some conflicting answers on this question? I have used the red and it comes apart with the 1/2" air gun.

I think that it only works well when you really clean and degrease the threads and holes with something like brake cleaner. I use blue myself but that is because I had a hard time getting one of the stock bolts out and didn't want to go through that again.
BTW, Sears sells "bolt-outs" that are freakin' awesome. They are sockets that will take any stripped out bolt out. Yes, even a flexplate bolt.

I used red again one drop. Never a problem taking apart with 1/2" air gun. I always use new bolts and clean bolts and thread holes with brake clean and run a thread cleaner through to clean out old locktite. Thanx everyone
