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? Ken D Columbia River Gorge

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. --Jim
