Damn you Dai, you and your blooming thread locking malarkey
I’ve occasionally used Blue, but generally stick with copper grease. If something comes loose, I’ll nip it up. Better than finding a previous owner’s lets lock it down so a nuclear explosion won’t loosen it
Of course that could just be heavy handedness and lack of any lube...
Annnnnn breathe I’ve just come in from the shed after one of the two bolts holding my brake lever bracket sheared. Had to weld a nut on, but got it off; that’s the short version
Ooer, back to tips.... I drip ACF50 onto my spoke nipples every so often, wipe away the excess and it keeps the corrosion away... but of course on my Bullet, they’re stainless! Still, helps the rim.
I wipe my tools down after every job. Can’t stand mess and trying to find something.
Probably has been covered, but definitely make up a test lead using an indicator bulb. This can show voltage drop, when a meter may not.
Rags, brake cleaner and radio, three things that really help.
