I am getting ready to mount up my spyder locks and they recommend that you use thread lock and i noticed that the threads are pressed in so i dont know if I would want to because of the chance of taking the wheel apart and to have the threads just pin while I... So i researched and watched a video of Mel put together an atx slab and he said to never use Thread lock... So what did you do on your spyderlocks/slabs? Thanks Mike

I don't use anything. Have been running them for 2 years without them coming loose once they are torqued properly.

Used it on mine....use it on the oem studs holding spacer on.not spacer studs holding wheel on.they come with it for a reason.

I believe the OP is referring to Spyderlock bead lock wheels and not the SpiderTrax spacer/adapters

Spyderlock does recommend using BLUE loctite and torquing to 25 ft lbs.

However the general consensus in the bead lock community is to use a little anti-seize and just keep a check on them. The dissimilar metals tend to corrode and can be difficult to remove or worse seize up and break off.

ya i was actually going to use anti-seize if i did use thread lock because that what I used on my old champions...

A little bit of anti-sieze and I would call it a day. For me, that's a hard pass on thread locker for rings.
