Jake, I considered applying Loctite but did not because of the high torque necessary to remove the nut and concerns about applying heat so close to the rear bearings (as is generally necessary with the high-strength threadlockers). However, it probably would be a good idea to use a low or medium strength threadlocker at this location to prevent loosing and prevent corrosion at the threads without having to use heat to break the bond. Perhaps more important is the rechecking of torque while still on the jacks and again after a few hundred miles. Any suggestions from the full time pro's?
