[QUOTE="Auburn, post: 1363601, member: 5661"] I have seen it happen on brake caliper bolts where the stainless steel bolt was locktite (red) and galled the threads of the fork leg when trying to take then bolt out. I was told it was due to the dissimilar metal of ALU and SS. I was told it is better to use an antiseize and torque to the proper torque. The person who told me is a good friend who was a former GP mechanic (before it became MotoGP), and AMA superbike mechanic. [/QUOTE]
