Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I'm 2 1/2 years into my project and seldom do I get to put something together for the last time. Mostly I mock up. I kept everything super clean. I put a small amount of blue Loctite on the studs but it didn't call for it. The Loctite people at PRI told my that blue Loctite also works as an anti-seize. The lugs were torqued at 77 ft lbs. The hat bolts called for red Loctite and 155 in lbs. I like to put a piece of tape on the part and mark it when I have to torque bolts in a cross pattern so I don't lose track on my sequence. I still have to put safety wire on the hat bolts. I checked all mating surfaces and put a thin coat of assembly lube on the bearings but didn't pack them because they will still have to come off many times. Now I have to figure out how to make it steer and how to mount the calipers. Easy right?
