Exactly.
Just a word of warning for those not so technically minded, you can’t use ordinary loctite-type products, let them dry out on a bolt, then expect them to work, -they won’t. They are anaerobic, which means they cure in the [i]absence[/i] of air, you’ll have a damn long wait, then the product will just turn to useless powder when you screw it in.
There is a “dry” version: http://www.threadlocking.co.uk/loctite-dri-loc.html
But TBH, I (and JLR) prefer the accepted method of ‘dry thread torque plus given angle of rotation’, to “stretch” the bolt and lock the joint by elastic deformation.
I always use new bolts, especially on brakes, you have no way of knowing how many times they have been used before, is yours and your passengers lives not worth the cost of a few bolts? :whistle:
