I used 271 and let it cure the full 24 hours and it was solid. I ended up having to take my motors off so I had to remove it and couldn’t do it without a torch and even then it was still hard to get off.

Did you remove it with one of the motor puller tools & heat @Venom121212 recommend to get, I think he does his with just that tool no heat.

So it seems that 6XX is for retaining and 262 is good for thread locking. Then I assume that 262 won’t be ideal for this use case?

Correct. You want retaining compound for this job.

Going to cut my motor shafts.

Should I be measuring the 22mm flush from the part where the motor mount screw holes are, or from right at the bottom of the shaft where the bearing is? It’s like a 2mm difference.

I just did this the other day, I slipped a rubber glove over the whole motor and had the shaft come out the middle finger and put a zip tie on the bottom, it kept it completely sealed and took 2 secs on and off.

Now that’s funny shit!!!

So basically, you created a motor condom, protecting multiple holes.

Hi guys. Been dealing with a creaking issue since day one. Noticed a degree of play between the BN baseplate and the adjustable hanger support. Despite how tight I make the bolt/nut it still creaks. I tried shimming with paper but it’s not working.

I did notice the bolt is threaded 80% of the way to the head and it is thinner than the non-threaded portion. I wonder if this is a cause?

Anyone else experiencing this with the BN hanger support/baseplates?

Holy crap why is your kingpin nut so tight

To me it just looks like it’s a longer kingpin; the bushings don’t look super schmushed. IDK though

Ya it’s not tight. Can move the truck easily with my hand. Pretty loose. Set to highest angle (55 degrees?)

Do you have another kingpin is the kingpin removable?
but I would take it all apart and check Everything and then put it back together
If the kingpin is removable and you have an extra kingpin use that and see if that helps
But something sounds broken in the base area
