Spud, wish you had found them last summer....





Another tip for trying to avoid stripped bolt heads:

Besides using a heat gun to soften the thread locker, use a hex wrench or socket that has the tip squared off.

I used a grinder to square off the crown on the hex socket.

That allows the hex to seat deeper into the socket head.

Even so, when torquing the new bolts, I could feel the socket head on the bolt starting to strip.
