Calling all Mechanic - What color Locktite Where?



I just worked on Corrado that had red locktite on all of the caliper and
calper carrier bolts.  I finally got them break loose but it was close.  I
was really afraid I was going to strip or break them.  Had to use a breaker
bar with a allen socket on the end.   It really sucked.  Blue is more than
enough.  If you need more than that then drill a hole throught the bolt and
safety wire then safety wire it.  Of course this won't work on the pressure
plate....
