Loctite in front axle threads?
I'm going to be installing an Arlen Ness big brake rotor/kit on my 2019 Low Rider tonight and while the install looks simple enough, the service manual doesn't mention using loctite on the axle threads. It obviously has the pinch bolt on the left fork which I expect serves the same purpose to lock the axle in place (note it doesn't mention loctite on the pinch bolt either??)
What is recommended? On the pinch only, on both, or neither?
Thanks.

Using a torque wrench is more important. Have heard they have bearing failures due to people over tightening. Though my first or second tire change, I tightened until my sphincter puckered.
I have thought about getting loctitie primer. I wonder how good of application most of us do. I chase it my finger nail, scrap with dental pic,but probably not as clean as it should be.
