U Joint Strap Bolts - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

LGAFF · 07-25-2010

Well, after my first battle with the bolts I picked up a set at MADVET. Went to install them, and they threaded in easy, but then they were nearly impossible to turn. I noticed they were coated in a blue material on part of the bolt, wondering if the combo of corrosion and the material( I assume some sort of thread locker) did this.

Anyone else ran across this, last set I put on was easy, but they were old bolts.
