Run away wheel on the lst2
For some reason the front left wheel on my lst 2 keeps rolling off? I used red locktite on the bolt and it still broke free. Are all the wheel bolts supposed to tighten toward the front of the truck? the threads seem to be normal and I thought they would have to be revese threads to prevent this!

RE: Run away wheel on the lst2
Thats pretty risky using red loctite on wheel nuts! If it works one time, youll have a very hard time removing it without destroying the wheel.
I think your issue is built up dry loctite on the threads and nut. When I clean up my truck, I heat up the threads on my hub, and remove all dried loctite with a tooth brush (watch your eyes!!) Then I do the same with the nuts. Never lost a wheel, and I use just a dab of blue loctite when I install them.
