I did a spring check over on the Roadster, to make sure tire pressures were good, and to see if any leaks had developed while sitting, etc, etc. I also checked the torque on a some but not all, of of the suspension, and drive train.
Now here is a question for you..If you applied Locktite to any of the bolts/nuts when initially installing them, would re-checking the torque on them, not break the Locktite seal, thereby rendering it useless? I was thinking this might be the case, so I didn't check those areas that I had applied it. Am I worng in not checking them? Would I not have to remove and dab some fresh Locktite on them if I did? It is only good for one application isn't it, it won't re-seal a second time?
