Spidertrax Wheel Spacer Safety
#24
I have a somewhat dumb question about the spacer install that has been on my mind.( I installed my spacers yesterday) My question is about the re-torque. Will the Loc Tight (red) used on the spacers be compromised once you re-torque the wheel? I was thinking one would "break" the locking action of the Loc Tight by doing this would'nt you? I know it must be done and is part of the install but I was just courious about how that works. Love the look it gives to the stock wheels!
Thanks

Just rotated my tires this morning. 5000km since last rotation/check.
Cleaned/checked the SpyderTrax spacers with torque wrench set to 85ft/lbs. They were originally installed at 90 ft/lbs. 20/20 lugs had not budged. Originally installed with red loc-tite.
Installed wheels to 95 ft/lbs and will check again in about 1 week (or less if I drive a bunch).
