so I am all happy because I have brandy new stainless steel ubolts for the rear end of my latest project. I have stainless nuts, lock and flats. I decide to dry fit everything before deciding its all good. So, without using any Loctite, or anything, I proceed to test the connections. I find the bolts too long and not enough threads. In fact there was probably just exactly the right amount of threads but no more and this made me nervous. So, I proceed to remove the nuts and then I would call the stainless provider and tell him to make the ubolts shorter and with more threads to be sure there was room to tighten later.
Cant remove the nuts. You would twist the ubolt and break it off if you tried. Learn something new everyday. I had to reorder the ubolts AND nuts and start over. Stainless is a whole nother thing! I wonder if Anti-Seize and Loctite is the same thing? It really does make sense to replace your ubolts due to these issues. Just not worth the few bucks to risk it.
