    I used Permatex "Ultra Blue" gasket maker & Permatex "Thread Locker Blue"(medium strength), both very good products.

    Yep any good medium strength thread locker will do, Loctite 243 was the first that sprang to mind. I have also used Permatex "Thread Locker Blue", and agree that it's a quality product.

    Paper gaskets with a light spray of hylomar and very clean bolts have worked for me and yes I do run oil filled hubs one compartment right through.

    Gasket with sealant or sealastic of choice to seal it After you clean out the threads and the sealing faces. Inspect all bolts for stepping and stretching and chattering marks, replace if required or unsure

    loctite 242/243 on the bolts.

    Tighten to 20nm in a star pattern to seat everything, secure the criclip and check for some lateral free play of the axle in the drive flange.

    Tighten to 65nm in a star pattern and then recheck.

    Just the near side front to do in the morning.

    Thanks to all for the info.
    I did my rear brake discs last week, the second last bolt snapped flush with the hub, It would just not budge, put me back 3 hours getting it out and I am not too happy with the outcome so may replace the hub, I think I damaged the threads in the hub, new screw is locked in and holding but it got to the 65nm a bit too easy I think.

    How did you remove yours?

    Cheers
    Pat.

    Drill, tap and helicoil it, Pat.

    Or drill and tap for the next bolt size.

    British Off Road are doing a new style of drive flange which has additional bolts. Obviously the hub needs to be modified to match.

    I have never had any issues with my flange bolts coming undone....I use Permatex blue silicone to seal the surface of the flange and Locktite on the bolts


    Apologies if this is old news

    Thanks for the offer, appreciate it, I just ordered one, watched a few u tube vids and decided that would be great on the shelf along side my nutsert tool I have used once.

    I had drilled it out and tapped it but only back to m10 which is probably my problem helicoil seems the way now so will fix when my new tool comes..

    Thanks for the help gents and apologies for the thread hijack..
