Oops looks like Javier beat me to it. Blue locktite is your friend, that and anti-sieze compound. Basically every time you remove a bolt think. Shoud it come off again?=anti-sieze, should it NOT come off again?=locktite. BTW red locktite requires heat to remove, green might as well be welded together. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T
