Title: Best thread lock?
Post by: gary67 on January 07, 2013, 06:13 PM

I need to use some thread lock on a Primo crankset.Whats the strongest guys?

The strongest is studlocker but that stuff isn't designed to be undone again....

I'd stick with medium strength threadlocker if I were you.

Its the insert that i want to threadlock as its stuck on the pedal.I thought if i threadlocked it back in i might get the pedal off  ::) Will the Loctite hold it?

Oooooooooohhhh.................


Probably not.

I'd be looking to get that insert off the pedal on the bench somehow.

use the strongest threadlock to screw the insert with the pedal on back into the crank arm -leave it for a few days THEN try to undo the pedal  :daumenhoch:
