Re: How to tighten motor screws?

Why are so many people afraid of Loctite? Use blue for easier removing of the screws.

Loctite cures in the absence of air where the threads mate so a little bit is all you need.

I recommend it be used on everything and use red on things that won't be taken apart (or where you can get a lighter or small torch in to losen it.

If you want you can also use these http://www.andymark.com/product-p/am-1246.htm. They are great for gearboxes.
