Hi. So that one drops straight in with no cutting of anything?

Haynes manual suggests to put blue thread locker on shock bottom bolt. I forgot to do that, but the bolt can't come off completely, dog bones are holding it.

The bottom bolt should have a self locking nut on it, so you shouldn't need to loctite it unless it's a bog standard nut.

cheers for the replies,

forgive me if this is a stupid question, but how do you tell if the nut is self locking? Also would you recommend using copper grease on the nut or does that defeat the point? haha

thanks
