threadlocker
You probably want the purple loctite since a threadlocker is optional
anyway - I think this is the #222 / small screw threadlocker; this breaks
loose easily but does protect against vibration. I know that the blue is
#242 (removable) and is what I usually use but it can require pretty high force
to break loose. The red is #262 (permanent) and can be pretty tough to get
loose and sometimes requires heat. They seem to make a product for
everything - the RV guys have even found that the green (#290 I think) will
stop a leaking gas tank rivet! I bet Bill Jepson has some real war
stories about this stuff! The dirt bike racers keep the bikes
together with this stuff since they don't usually use safety wire.

I assume you are talking about the front bearing retainer bolts.
I don't use loctite on those but if you deem it necessary, be sure to use the
lightest possible grade ie, lowest strength, type. I think loctite blue
is the 'removable with hand tools' type.

Tracy,
I’m in the process of reassembling my RD2-C after
doing the M/T bushing mod.
Is there a preferred thread locking product that I should
use for the small socket-head bolts?
