    All, I'm putting my front wheel back together, and I'm wondering if I should use thread-lock compound on the rotor bolts? The PO used it, and it was dang hard to get them off! I don't want to risk losing my rotors while I ride, so it seems like a pretty good idea. But, I don't want to make life difficult down the road... Is it the right thing to do?

    Sometimes people use too much threadlocker and that makes it difficult to impossible to remove at a later date. You don't need to cover the whole bolt. Just use a little on the last few threads near the head of the bolt.
