Right! Loctite and Permatex both make thread repair kits, which include
the release agent. They will work fine in this application. Don't try to
use this on a head bolt or a bearing cap, but for non critical
applications, they're fine. Go to a bearing supply house.

I think Loctite and Permatex are the same now - in any case, I found the
thread repair kit at my local Oreilly's Auto Parts store, which I like to
patronize as they support drag racing...

Thanx!
