Spacer installation - Loctite thread sealer
Hello,
I am planning to install my spacer and using Loctite to make sure the screw does not come loose.
Any recommendations? I want something that will hold but also removable when needed. I've seen blue in color for medium strength but would like some opinion before i buy it.
Thank you

I don't know why previous poster sent a link to Red when you said you needed removable

i'm open to all suggestions.
I read that blue was removable but for the application, i am unsure which is more suitable for durability. Last thing i want is not being able to remove the lug from wrong Loctite.
phillygs3, is that red one removable when used on spacers?

Do you re-torque your wheels after several hundred miles from the date of mounting?

Since i am on a budget, i have read that many CL members have been using the Ichiba V2 spacers with much success, i decided to go with them as well.
They cost me about $260 for front and rear.
I was researching on the blue loctite and it say it removes cleanly.
From wikipedia:
So with that said, is it better to use it then nothing?
If i do go with the loctite method, do you think i need to re-torque the spacers?

From wikipedia:
Blue Removable No. 242, 243, 246, 248, 2432 & 2440 - Used for things you may want to unscrew with minimal hassle. It cures into a brittle, glassy bond that takes one good twist to break, but removes cleanly after that. Recommended for use with valve covers, water pumps and oil pan bolts.
