The hub screws? Use blue lock title let it dry 24 hours. Then you can use it.

My driveshaft ones keep backing out. Used blue loctite and they still back out.

Are you letting it dry for a good day or so? If the loctite don't set, they will always back out. This happened to me years ago on an old go fast...next time I let it dry well enough, it never backed out.

sent from a mobile device dumber than me.

Cleaning them well before the use of loctite and cure time helps as well.

yes hit the screw and the threads on the driveshaft with some motor spray or electronics cleaner really good! wipe if needed and let dry. then use the loctite and let loctite dry 24 hours

Yes and the Loctite chapstick type is even nicer and dries faster imo.

Loctite QuickStix 248 Threadlocker Stick, Medium Strength/Removable; 9GM [PRICE is per TUBE]: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific

I will do this, im hoping it works

[briang]

Yeah I cleaned the grub screw but not the threads. I always let it dry 24 hours. I will try to clean the threads too

[Tmaxxed]

This was driving me nuts on my old Honcho to, I switched to the newer trans outputs and diff inputs and the wb8 driveshafts. No more set screws!!

NOTErized!

[Meatwad]

Ehh it's simple user-operator error. A lot have used single flat inputs/outputs for years with opposing set screws, opposing m3 cap screws or mips with opposing m4 set screws and no issues.

You can try red loctite but you might not ever get the screws back out ha

i use red lock tight, and i can get the grub screws back out but i round an allen key every time, i must get some blue lock tight.

it is always best to clean threads and screws when putting something together.

Try heating up the screw/bolt with heatgun or light before trying to back them out.
