Locking Compounds

Approved locking agents must be applied to some threads on reassembly where indicated in the procedure.

NOTE: If original bolts are to be reused, clean old compound off both male and female threads with a solvent cleaner and a wire brush before re-applying locking compound.
NOTE: Even if new bolts are being fitted, make sure all internal and external thread surfaces are clean and dry before applying locking compound.
