Heck, I was just gonna squirt the Loctite right in there without even
taking the nut off. (Unless the instructions say otherwise and my wife
is helping/watching.) I always drop those little buggers on the carpet
or lawn and can never find them.

I you plan on the above then you want to use a wicking Loctite.
It uses capillary action to enter the joint.
