Are you supposed to lock tight these screws twice they are loosening up all 3 will these cause performance issues

dam, you got some juice there.
threadlock metal in metal and wait 24 hours before you start jammin it again.

 

[Yonic]

Yeah. This is not needed on the stock plastic cups. But since you moved to metal, every screw that bolts to metal needs threadlock.

If you are still using the factory diff cup no you are not supposed to use threadlock.

My center diff always leaked and the screws never stayed tight. I replaced my diff cup with an aluminum one and no more leaks and no more screws backing out.

Put a rubber band on the end of the hex bit. I hear it works.

The HR diff cups come with a little piece of paper that says to use loctite.

Yet the bottom of the screw holes has a hole in it that allows the oil to seep up into the threads... There's a thread about that. Seems an odd design to me. Having silicone oil all over the threads kind of defeats threadlock.

Well, I guess the concept is that you fill with the fluid and put in the screws very shortly there after before the fluid has a chance to come up with the holes.

I just thoroughly coat all the threads on the screws with the Loctite.

So I finished they center diff rebuild lol new thread locked it waited and spews out, next method might put bathtub silicone clear might make as a rubber barrier around threads idk

Nothing should be spewing out of anything if you did it right...

I did this go around only thing I can think about is I didn’t let threadlock sit long enough I guess just took it out and all is good now ran it hard and screws didn’t back out

Loctite should always be left alone for a day like any adhesive.

I’m definitely remembering that when from and rear gets worked on this wk
