Fat Fingers...Help

[craigatcsi]

Rick Butler did the Seat mod for me, (which I LOVE).

Anyways, he kindly replaced my stock seat nuts with the 'finger' nuts. - I can't keep the blasted things tight. They keep unscrewing themselves.

I think my fingers are too fat to get a good grip on them to tighten them good.

I have some blue Locktight, would it hurt / help if I put some of that on there?

Try a bit of teflon tape on the seat studs..........I did that with just the stock nuts and they don't budge loose at all now.

 

 

Boomer........who thinks ya might enlist the aid of a local midget to help tighten those nuts too.........

With blue loctite you will not likely be able to remove them by hand. I occasionally need the assistance of a pair of plyers to get them loose (it may also work to get them snug).

Once you've applied blue loctite, they will be tough to unscrew by hand the first time but after that, the remaining "dried" loctite stays there and seems to provide some "friction" preventing them from self-loosening (at least that's what mine seem to be like). You could try it and see if it works for you.

I dont know. My nuts are pretty tight once I screw them on. And it takes a good yank to unscrew them.

Agreed. Blue Loctite would probably hurt otherwise.

Reminds me of a joke...

What's the difference between Beer nuts and Deer nuts?

 

Beer nuts cost $1.69 ... Deer nuts are just under a buck....
