Delboy, First, I want to thank you for your videos. I'm In Chicago, Illinois, USA learning more from you than anyone else. Please keep posting videos, they are not going unnoticed and people are learning alot from your wisdom. I think your niche is for the motorcyclist who is between garage owner and regular joe. Money! Black shirts = "Delboy's garage" ( add graphic) can bring in some well-deserved income for you and your wife. Thank you! Patrick

[@Moonfleet41]

+Patrick John Photography Hi Patrick, Thank you so much for your kind comments, and great support, a chanell is nothing without its loyal viewers... We did a run of T-Shirts and hoodies last year, and they went down very well indeed.... so we'll be doing some clothing again later in the spring once we get straight and squared away in the new home... maybe this time some cool long sleeve T-shirts (my favorite kind) and some BB caps as i love them... and all with the red DBG logo on black... We will post a video when the time comes to garner interest and guage how many we'll need... Take care and have a safe and happy new year my friend... D&P.

[@simonliddiard4900]

[@fungames24]

Good info. I was wondering about using copper grease or thread locker on car thermostat bolts. This answers it. Even so, I won't use copper grease because of risk of the bolt undoing from vibration. I will instead use high temperature RTV as a sealer for the threads. RTV is a very weak glue but seals well, and it doesn't increase the risk of the bolt undoing.

[@myppnu]

To loosen a nut or something that has threadlock applied to it. Just re-apply "fresh" threadlock onto the already hardened threadlock compund. The chemical reaction will soften the threadlock compound and you can just unscrew the nut after a few minutes. Just make sure you leave some threadlocker visible when you apply it in the first place...

[@davidmicheletti6292]

Very informative! When I'm doing maintenance on paper machines I use never seize compounds all the time. Between the fact the bolts are always exposed to water and chemicals it would be impossible to removed any bolts in the future without the protection that it provides.

[@tonylittle2744]

[@Vlogbiker]

I was told that threadlock actually sets only under pressure be it that it only needs a very little but never over time unless the pressure is there. I use to fly radio controlled helicopters and if you got a drop on the workbench it or had a bolt covered with it but not wound a nut onto it then it would never cure as such, hence why it never goes off in a bottle. I had quite a debate with a rep over it and he insisted that it is not a glue and requires a condition before it solidifies. Thanks for the explanation of the copper slip and graphite explanation, didnt know you could put it on the back of a brake pad to stop vibration sound, again thanks heaps for the videos, your a legend for sharing so much!

[@Moonfleet41]

+VlogBiker Hi mate... yes, copper slip on the back of btake pads stops the squeel..but no more then butter in a biscuit aye.. Rather than deate the threadlock thing... experiment yourself... take a loose fitting nut and bolt, one that spins on freely... fill the thread with threadlock.. slip the nut on loosely, applying NO pressure, so you have a 'full nut', and leave it for 45 minutes... then come back and tell me what you found...?

[@Vlogbiker]

Moonfleet41 yeah I actually went out into the workshop last night and did that exact test very sloppy loose nut... lol, it was rock solid this morning. but the other bolt with no nut on it but resting against a piece of metal was still liquid and the two strips of metal with loctite between them was also liquid. Going to try two very flat peices today at the workshop at my office and place them in a vice and see what that yields.

[@Track848]

Great level of detail here, Prof. Del, thanks for posting. I use one or the other of these on just about every bolt on the Ducati. I suppose it's similar to the Harleys: a lot of twin-vibration going on that pushes a variety of fasteners out. After becoming a regular track day rider, I went to the next level on most of the 'crucial' bolts and have them safety-wired now.

[@Moonfleet41]

I just put my Buell motorcycle motor back in the frame and used anti-seize and no thread lock. Not because of this video because I just came upon this a few minutes ago. But I sure am glad I watched your video and it certainly makes sense to me. Buell recommends threadlock but I agree with you and the heck with Buell.

[@michaelthompson3381]

Might be a good idea to investigate the relationship between Anti Seize / Thread Lube and the listed Torque settings for a particular fastener. Lots of threads are accidently stripped by tightening up to a Torque value which is applicable to a "dry"" (un-lubed) assembly. Setting your Torque Wrench to the recommended setting for a dry assembly will overtighten by a considerable amount when the threads are lubed with anti seize. Some manuals will give a recommendation such as "lightly oiled threads" when listing a particular Torque value. (Although I personally have never seen this in a Motorcycle manual). My own method is to only use recommended Torque settings on dry threads unless the use of anti seize / thread lube has been taken into account and is mentioned in a manual. Of course it will take a good few years of experience to get "the feel" for just how tight an assembly is as there are quite a lot of variables such as materials, thread pitch and size to take into consideration.

[@transdimensionalist]

there are charts which list the relative torque values for lubed and dry threads, do a search

[@x-man5056]

You have a misunderstanding of torque and torque value. The torque value of a fastener is based ONLY in the materials of the fastener and material it is threaded into and the clamping force required. Lubricating the threads does NOT reduce the clamping force requirement or the strength of the fasteners thread. If there is a chart out there describing a reduction in torque value based on lubricating threads it is a total piece of rubbish. The truth is torquing a fastener with no lube* gives you a slightly lower bolt stretch/clamping force. In other words, the appropriate clamp force/torque is more accurately achieved with lubed threads. Instead of reducing the torque on wet threads, it would be more accurate to increase the torque on dry threads. Torque specs are given for "best thread condition". Any other standard would infinitely variable. Example: engine builder...Rod, Main, and Head bolts on an engine NEVER go in dry. The torque in the spec is the torque used to get the clamping force required. That clamping force could be easily reduced by installing the bolts dry. (steel bolt into cast iron the worst for this) I worked as Manufacturing Quality Engineer for USDOD in the rocket engine industry. Nearly every fastener on a rocket engine not installed with thread locker is installed with Anti-Seize, even the ones that go into locking fasteners. We would use a dial indicating torque wrench to measure the drag caused by the locking fastener, and ADD that value to the torque, but no additional torque to compensate for anti-seize or lube, it is completely unnecessary and would not be correct. *Anti-Seize is not technically not designed to be a lubricant. It works by sealing threads from moisture, creating a noble metal layer between metals, often dissimilar metals. Because of its grease like nature, it does provide a lubricating layer for fastener install, but that is not it's purpose, just an added feature. It does help prevent galling of aluminum threads with SS fasteners, but Anti-Seize has no film strength, no service duty. It is not grease. Though it feels like you may be over torquing on a wet install, all of the material, threads,and required clamping force remain the same, you are getting a more accurate torque which equates to bolt stretch/clamping force with a wet install and likely slightly under torquing with a dry install because of the drag from the threads and possibly the shank or shoulder of the bolt. Always torque to spec., wet or dry install, shot in the dark guesstimates of reductions in torque are inappropriate, unnecessary.

Good video again Del. How about stainless to stainless? It's awful stuff to get apart once it's picked up and straight anti-seize doesn't always cut the mustard like say,Tribol. I'm not sure about stuff like Loctite Studlock being permanent, it just seems to hold better... like a plastic with a higher shear value. You really do get the message across and I've learned a lot from you. Thanks for posting.

[@Moonfleet41]

+TheRunereaper Best thing I've ever found with stainless to stainless (provided it's cold) is simple Blue Threadlock... it acts as it's own corrosion inhibitator, but you don't need much if it's a precision thread, just a dab!

The question i had prior to this video was answered. My concern was bolts that retain a drive shaft, which i would not want rattling off, however, I had so much trouble getting them to come out I ruined the heads of the bolts and almost failed to get them out without having them break off. Not wanting that problem in the future, I thought I would use anti-seize. now that i know thread locker can prevent corrosion, my choice has become clearer. lock the threads, but prevent the corrosion.

[@Moonfleet41]

Good plan Joshua, make sure to use the blue temporary thread lock if you ever want them to come out again.. not the red permanent lock.. !

I don't know how long he left it on for but I wouldn't recommend it, you cant be too safe when it comes to your brakes, probably worked just fine but but for what it costs for some temp thread lock theres no excuse to use the proper stuff, I hope you and Penny are well, and have a great Christmas, take care D&P stay cool, Daz

Hi Delboy , thanks for the massive library of Bikey vids, use your vids all the time for education , reference and conformation that i am doing the job right and safely. Currently just about to put front break calliper back to gather and refit back on the bike. I had previously decided not to go near my breaks but after watching your videos I was inspired and the confidence that your videos had given me was awesome and what seamed a daunting task became an enjoyable tinkering self-satisfying oily job. Thanks a bunch Del & Pen While I'm on i do have a couple of questions though. Bobbins on the bach break disk seem different than the front how do i free them up like the front? I have a 2001 Suzuki Bandit 1200 and looking to change the exhaust , three bolts , what is the best way to go about getting bolts out without snapping them and will it be copper slip when putting them back in. And lastly would i need to have some kind of jetting after putting a stubby can on from the 3 bolt flange? Thanks from Col another monkey idiot with loads of dangerous tools trying to get into the collective ............lol

hi Col, thanks for your cool message mate... to answer your disc question first, there are no bobbins on the back disc, its solidly mounted mate... and to get stuck bolts out its just a perfect fitting socket of alun key, and lots of leverage... it the head starts ro mince, then dont just round it off... you can spray some WD40 over it so it penetrates down into the thread, and then give it a go again in about ten minutes.... there's no instant fix for that mate.. its just practice and patience aye... And for the refit.. no, you should be ok for just a stubby can on the factory header pipe.... see how it runs, if you have any flat spots then you may need to deal with it.. but mine was fine. Thanks for your kind support mate, enjoy Your Bandit, and take care.. De;l.

Great video again Del. To be honest though I use copperslip everywhere because it does both jobs and is therefore a viable substitute for threadlock whereas threadlock is not a viable substitute for copperslip.
