So, what did you do today?

Suggestions (new bolts, different type locking compound)?

Mine get a small amount of red locktite and are torqued with a large cheater bar. A larger cheater bar is needed to loosen them. Never used heat. Best plan is to avoid having to remove them every week, but you knew that...

I cut one end off an 11mm wrench, then slip a long half inch square tube over it and torque the hell out of them. I don't use locktite. Drilling those bolts to safty wire would be difficult, unless Jeremy was arround. FMR

I use blue gel locktite and a 12mm, 12 point short socket with a flex head ratchet. Works good.

Jerry, what are exact dimensions/ thread pitch on the bolts?

I have no idea. I have not measured them. This is the first time I have had this issue with any vehicle I've owned. I did have a axle bearing failing on the race car so maybe that had something to do with it? I use a 12mm ratchet box end.
