[QUOTE="john11gt, post: 14480611, member: 150071"] I installed a Steeda uca a few months ago but when I put it on, I never used any loctite, so Ive been having to re tighten the bolts every few weeks. Today I pulled the bolts out and put some loctite on them and when I was tightening the one down, I got it tight and thought to myself, "Ill put just a little more on it" and thats when it let loose. I went out and bought some drill bits and stuff and I was going to drill it out but being in a driveway on jackstands, it was really looking like a nightmare. I have some pretty bad luck when it comes to fixing cars it seems and usually end up breaking something, I broke the bolt today and about a month ago I was replacing my caliper and I broke the banjo bolt off in the new caliper, and a few weeks before that I was doing the breaks on my girlfriends parents van and when trying to break the wheel free from the hub I broke the tpms sensor, to name a few. Its never ending, lol. I also work nights Sunday-Thursday and I have school before work Monday-Wednesday so I dont have much time to be messing around with it, especially being my daily. [/QUOTE]
