[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1363615, member: 3828"] Thanks, Auburn. I'll keep that in mind in the future. I know that the red is pretty tenacious stuff, and that you have to use heat to release it. I try not to use the red stuff on anything that isn't a permanent connection, that I want to disassemble nondestructively in the future. Plus I've never got in the habit if just slathering everything with loctite, just because. If it doesn't specifically call for it in the service manual I don't use it. And as you pointed out, it doesn't call for it on the Allen bolt that holds the cartridge in the lower fork leg. [/QUOTE]
