Re: Crank Problem

I just performed the necessary repairs to the uni and am waiting till
tomorrow to try it out. It's 4:30am here so, I'm a little tired to try
it out and, the loctite package says to allow 24 hours for full
strength.

I'll keep everyone posted on the results, just in case someone in the
future needs this as a repair thread.

By the way, I couldn't find red and blue loctite but, I did find many
kinds of loctite. The kind that I got is called "Repair Extreme, all
temperature". The package says, "for bonds subject to rough handling
and harsh conditions". I figured that this application qualified.

This stuff is intended for genreal adhesive work, not as a thread
locking agent. While it will probably work, you most likely will not be
able to remove the bolt again, without applying extreme heat. Loctite
272 is the stuff you ideally want.
