Threadlock on flywheel or pressure plate bolts?

Post by 94.GT.Wagon »

Changing the clutch in my 94 Legacy GT. Anybody have opinions on using or not using loctite on the flywheel or pressure plate bolts, or any other bolts for that matter that pertain to my project?

BTW, went the pull the engine route, VERY easy. Highly recommend it.

Thanks, Todd

I use red loctite on any flexplate, flywheel, or clutch/drivetrain items such as those.

You should use a torque wrench too. I think it's 52 ft. lb. for the flywheel, and 12ft. lb. for the pressure plate.

I have also been using anti-seize on all exhaust system bolts and nuts. Got tired of stripping, breaking and removing studs.
