Thinking about Locktite 248 just now, it occurred to me I don’t recall checking the Chrome-dome bolts holding the PRHT gears together.
Driver’s side was tight tight tight. If I tried any harder to undo it something was going to break, so no point in worrying about that one.
Passenger side was another matter; the Chrome-dome bolt was barely finger tight. Suitable dose of the Loctite on its thread and now I can forget that one.
Here’s an old pic from the Niseko. Red arrow for Chrome-dome I’ve just secured, Orange arrow for roof lock cable adjustment (untouched).
But I’ll occasionally check the driver’s side in the future, just in case, and well before the gears wear enough to become noisy.
