I need to use some thread lock on a Primo crankset.Whats the strongest guys?

The strongest is studlocker but that stuff isn't designed to be undone again....

I'd stick with medium strength threadlocker if I were you.

Its the insert that i want to threadlock as its stuck on the pedal.I thought if i threadlocked it back in i might get the pedal off

Will the Loctite hold it?

Oooooooooohhhh.................

Probably not.

I'd be looking to get that insert off the pedal on the bench somehow.

It dont wanna come off.Anyone got a spare arm or pedal insert?

use the strongest threadlock to screw the insert with the pedal on back into the crank arm -leave it for a few days THEN try to undo the pedal

Will do Paul,may just have to run them with the snafu pedals they come with which are ok as riders!

Cheers Paul

Was thinking of flattening opposite sides of the insert and using a spanner on it but havent got the tools to do it!
