An important thread

[Petrus]

Ok, not really but more hands on ánd about real thread ánd on the ZZW30 so time to get to the nitty gritty guys ´n gals:

I want to replace some M6 OEM nuts by aluminium ones.
Do I use;
- anti seize paste or
- thread lock plastic?

The one prevents it from getting stuck and the other from unstuck, I know.  The ham quetsion is will the latter protect some against galvanic corrosion and/or is coming loose an issue?

I use aluminium nuts.

I use anti seize paste as I find the nuts don't come off easy without it after running on track. I've never had an issue with loose nuts (Torqued to 120NM). But I do check torque every time the car goes out.

Ok, that´s wheel nuts.
I have reverted to the steel ones as the alu ones tended to get too stuck. Undoubtedly because I do not want to use the anti seize paste on those as it throws the tightening torque out.
I think you are sensible to check them. Not a lot of hassle, a lót more assurance.

I would use Loctite 29031 290. It creates a barrier and it can be used on already fasten bolts by way of its wicking action.
