Stud Installation?

(1/2) > >>

SweetTea:
Just got my cylinder back from US Chrome.  Do you just hand tighten the studs all the way down in the cylinder or is there a torque spec.  Checked my clymer and I can't find anything.  Also, I have red Permatex Lock-tight and Blue, should I use the red or blue on the studs, manual calls for red?  I don't want to have to heat the cylinder to remove red loc-tite parts in the future.  What about other parts, red or blue?

Thanks guys!

suicyde:
No torque spec, bottom them out. I'm with you on the red loc-tite, Blue should be adequite. I have never put loc-tite on a head stud, just motor oil, and have had good luck.

kaw rider:
torque then down to half of recommend stud nuts torque.

alward25:
I would personally install myself on the seat and pull the longest wheelie in the history of wheelies :-D

kaw rider:
loc tite does goofy thing in aluminum thread area.
