Repairing Self-Locking Threaded Axle Mount Connections
Self-locking screws/bolts with thread-lock must always be replaced. As described in the WIS-net document AH00.00-N-0001-01A, it is mandatory
that the nut threads on the axle mount be recut and blown out with compressed air.
Adhesive residue in the threads affects the strength of the bolt even when the correct tightening torque and angle is applied. The bolt may bend and
eventually break. Any consequent vehicle damage would not be covered under warranty.
See WIS-net document AH00.00-N-0001-01A for notes on self-locking nuts and bolts.
