Re: Grease, anti-seize, and Loc-tite. Discuss.
 I sold a dirtbike a few years ago that I tore down/rebuilt most of the rear end on over the winter. Blue loctite froze in the shed,damn..but red still flowed, and in late evening error I thought "can it really be THAT much stronger?". Wasn't really aware I would be selling it when I did the work though. Regardless the first time I needed to readjust the shock and the subframe bolts spun the heads clean off I realized it was definetely time for sale  (though I actually did attempt to remove an abundancy of the stuff before I sold it out of guilt, but funny I did that AFTER i had the replacement bike on deck, heh)

A little heat and red locktite turns to jelly. I routinley install and remove 10-32 screws with tiny 5/32 allen heads with red locktite at work. Just hit them for 7-10 seconds with a propane torch first.

I imagine that must generate alot of friction, but if you use the flame to heat them I bet it works even better
