Locking manual cct s

[BrianC]

Has anyone tried using Nord Lock ridged lock washers on manual cct s as a way of locking them - just a random thought

I haven't -not a bad idea but
If you shove a bit of hylomar blue into the thread, it not only stops that dreaded little oil leak off the rear cct but also acts as a bit of thread lock.

Just a thought

Does that stuff go brittle or stay soft. I know normal threadlock is not wise as it will go brittle and potentially fail. I use silicon gasket sealant

put a small 0 ring under the locknut, small dab of silicone and job done. Mine have never leaked or come undone.

My APE's have o rings but I think its a bit of a gimmick as the thread pitch on the APE is far too course for the o ring to work

hence the dab of silicone.

do it up tight enough, I have no thread lock or silicon on mine.

It stays soft as it is a gasket sealant. Silicon will work too but Hylomar is designed for engines so it will last longer and unlike silicon its less fussy being in contact with oil.
I keep a small tube of it in my garage and it's probably been there about ten years,unlike silicon (or me) it doesn't go off with age either.
