Subject:Installing new brake pads in 90 Westy
From:Richard O'Halloran

I want to replace my front brake pads.  Both Bentley and Haynes say that I
must use NEW self locking bolts when refastening the brake caliper housing.
Is that true??  Is that what everyone does??  What about using some of that
Loctite stuff to hold the old ones in there.  I've seen it in various
strengths.  I think the medium strength was hand tool removable.  Could I
get away with just plain old anti-seize paste (I've got the Loctite).

Thanx for this
