Which loctite?

OK, kidz-

Which loctite should I be using on flywheel bolts? I've seen some say blue, and some say red. I'm guessing that either is fine, but does anyone have any strong thoughts one way or another?

blue

red is bad news if you ever have to take them back out again

I use red, just because I do not want them ever coming off unless I am taking them off.
A good 3/8 impact wrench will break them free, if not, a little heat and a nice smack in the middle with a punch will break the loctite bond.

I personally use red - cuz as teamsleep says, you really don't want something storing the kinetic energy of a big bore magnum hunting rifle bullet coming free.

I've had to mount and unmount mine a couple times, and removing it wasn't a problem at all - use a good socket and a breaker bar, and it'll come right out.

blue is plenty to prevent them working lose as long as they were torqued properly.
