If you read the literature that comes with Locktite the way to get the red stud and bearing mount to release is to heat it to 350 for a minute.

So my question is what are most of you all flying with...studs or=20 bolts?

Also, if I add studs, is there a product anyone can recommend (such as= a=20 loc tite type product) that will help keep the stud from backing out but al= so=20 survive in the high temp environment by the exhaust manifold?=A0 Is the RED= =20 Loctite made for this type of duty factor?

Thanks for any information.
