Default 3 questions...

Excuse my newbie like questions..its been a while....

Yes I know I put in the title 3 questions...after I posted I realized I had one more.....


1. Best way to remove fasteners with loctite without stripping?

2. I have an rc8te(the truggy sat for the winter), went to do my spring race prep, and noticed that all of the diff oil has leaked out of my front and rear diff. I used the gasket, and tightened the diff screws nice and snug. What gives? Any suggestions?

3. Best way to remove a stripped out hex fastener?

4. Best way to dial in camber, and toe?

the best way to get bolts with thread locker on them loose is heat. But when your dealing with plastic its hard to use a propane torch.

as for your stripped allen bolts dremmel a slot in the head so you can just use a flat blade screw driver

hope this helps

if it's blue loctite then you should be able to just remove them as normal.
if it's red loctite then you'll need to apply heat to the bolt, easiest way is to put a slodering iron on the blot head, as long as the bolt is not in plastic.

you can take apart the diffs, lightly sand down the edge where the gasket sits, refill and install new gaskets.

it's been so long since i stripped a bolt, if you can find one small enough an
"easy out" may work.

toe is something that the hinge pin bushings control, so you're probably fine there. camber, get a camber gauge, they are cheap and make camber changes easy.
