[Bricklin] Rocker Stud Coming Loose

[Rick at High Tech Coatings]

Is the stud itself loosening or is the locknut coming loose? If it is the stud
itself use red loctite but clean the threads in the hole and stud very good
first, they will no come loose again without a torch heating them.
 If it is the nut and they are polylocks (nuts with set screw in the top),
make sure the top of the stud is flat, if it is not flat the polylocks won't
work well. with polylocks make sure you follow the proper procedure for
tightening them, adjust the lash then HOLD THE POLY LOCK IN THAT LOCATION WITH
A BOX END WRENCH. TURN THE INSIDE ALLEN SET SCREWS DOWN UNTIL IT CONTACTS THE
ROCKER STUD. SNUG IT WITH THE PALM OF YOUR HAND. DO NOT TIGHTEN! NOW WITH THE
BOX END WRENCH IN ONE HAND AND THE ALLEN WRENCH, TURN BOTH TOGETHER UNTIL THEY
TIGHTEN, OR APPROXIMATELY 25 FT. LBS. THEY MUST BE TIGHT, BUT YOU DON'T WANT
TO BE AN APE EITHER. USE COMMON SENSE.
