Ok picked up my moly paste this morning, got some blue loc-tite (medium) got some rubber gloves and a small brush.
3 questions on reassembly
(1) the moly paste..I'm supposed to use the small brush and what put a glaze coating on the spline in the wheel and on the hub? Not gloppy? sort of thin like painting them? It is not supposed to fill up the teeth? (seemed like there was a lot on there in when I had to clean it off upon dissasembly)
(2) I assume (as in dissambly) I have to mount the wheel, put the axle part way in, then install the brake caliper, and then slide the axle the rest of the way in?
(3) the guy at the shop where I got the tire changed said NOT to put loc-tite on the caliper bolt threads but others here have said to do it, so what's the concensus? Loc tite or not?
Thanks in advance for any avice.
