Just don't use it as an assembly lube as was stated in this thread - lol
https://www.hdforums.com/forum/milwa...ease-help.html It was supposed to be a joke; however, not funny.

I can assure you it stays on the threads. I have used it for securing the bolt on trike conversion I made. I used it after one of the swing arm bolts came loose.

Loctite 262 has not been replaced, the seller probably just doesnt want to do an exchange. The green loctite products I do believe are permanent. The red is just medium/ high strength.
I would 100% not use the green and just go pickup some 262 or 263 locally if you can. Most any auto parts or hardware store should carry it.

Yeah, I should have admitted to I've not used it.. Swing arm bolts have longer thread engagement and depending on the year either 1/2-20 or 7/16-NC threads.. One thing to know is that the crank gear bolt is only 5/16-18 and the bottom of the hole leads to the cranks oil passage.
