    Default Which loctite to use on calipers?

    Just wondering which loctite to use on the bolts that hold the two halves of a caliper together.

    Generally you would use blue loctite.
    Its a common miss conception that people actually use their brains before they speak.

    I used blue on the VT ones I did without any probs, but with the rebuild kit the bolts come with loctite already on them, the red one tho.
