Red loctite will come loose with a little heat. So it will be easy to get off if every needed. Blue would be best. Hubs should have NO MOVEMENT. At least 100 ft/lbs. If too loose, hubs could wiggle and damage hub splines or worse axle splines. Happened to me when I went with out the cotter pin once and the nut took a ride in another direction, and the wheel another.

I e-mailed Lonestar about the ft\lbs four days ago and they haven't answered back yet.

Yeah I know what would happen if my hubs are loose all the time.Went riding in glamis came back the next day and my hubs where loose just a little bit.

I used a cresent rench on the axle nuts and i tighten it real tight so i tryed to put the cotter pin in hole and wouldn't go in so i had to go back then it went in. I don't want to go too far forward because I don't want to strip the threads so thats why I want to know the ft\lbs of torque.So BLUE loctite is the way to go right? Can someone tell me if they used loctite on thier axle threads and did it help?

Thanks for your replies.

id personally go with red.. its "permanant" just means it has higher tolerances... dont have to worry about it coming lose as ez as blue will... mine has a tiny bit of play in it too... as long as it dosent MOVE on your splines you will be ok... the castle nut is always going to move a little bit unless you can get it to go that one extra notch... nothing to worry about...
