[QUOTE="Ducdude, post: 52803, member: 2077"] Greetings all, The C20 clutch retaining nut has developed a nasty habit of repeatedly coming loose while riding. I fitted new main clutch shoes yesterday as well as generally cleaning up behind the clutch drum and all around from an oil leak... The repair was straight forward . The nut was applied and torqued with blue Loctite on it with an air wrench and it came up snug very snug. Only 50 miles later it is loose again. Are there any tricks to keeping this nut in place? I do not want to use stronger Loctite as I know I will have to be in there again one day and do not want to have an issue.. I have considered the following : Using red Loctite or bearing lock (Loctite) real strong stuff Getting a new C20 or C20/1 nut (what is the difference?) Getting new C19 thrust washer Safety wiring the thing some how.. Any ideas out there ? What is causing this nut to loosen is not clear to me as it all goes together well. Thanks for your assistance as always. Eric [/QUOTE]
