I got loctite in my CVDs! Now theyre rough :(
 

Wel I somehow managed to get loctite in 3 out of 4 of my CVDs in the buggy I'm building right now..

I dont know what it will do when I finish it.. but rihgt now it is strong enough to grab and stop the diff from turning it..

I'm thinking.. if I let this slide, the damn thing is going to be uncontrollable until this stuff either wears off or.. until I do something about it


I put some oil in there and it helped a lot.. I tried to clean it with a dry cloth.. no help! It doesnt even look like theres any loctite in there but I'm sure thats the cause

I'm not really worried right now.. but if the buggy wont run straight after I put it all together, I know this is the cause!
It was soo smoth before I screwed it up :(
Maybe it'll wear out and become smooth again? Maybe I can use WD-40 or soemthing to clean it off?!


Any ideas?

Allright I'll do that. I was also thinking.. who not a dab of graphite dust?

Sprinkle that in the dogbones and cvds.. that should be good!

Heck the car is still not on its rims.. once it is I'll worry about it.. now I have to find 2.5 3.0 e-clips.. ace hardware and HD didnt have em. They said "Try an automotive store"

Gonna check that out tomorrow. This sure is more interesting than HPI.. having everything in the kit.. lol

I dont know I dont think I lost em.. wierd!

OH? what did they do?

I'm afraid this will affect the smoothness and may cause erratic turning too!
