I just replaced my brake pads and it was very difficult to break
loose the allen screw holding the calipers on. My question is,
should I use lock tite on them when I tighten them back up?

I use the blue lock tite, I want them to stay put. The torque values
are not that high only 18 ft-lb. Did you use a small allen wrench?
Perhas they were tightened down to hard. You can pick up a 3/8 drive
socket that has the correct allen and is makes it much easier to
remove the caliper allens.

Anyone have or know someone that is selling a kick starter lever and a
pre 95 clutch hub?
Thanks,
Tammy.
