Walt Well Known Member Aug 6, 2011 #2 Certainly won't hurt (and I often find these nuts loose), just be sure not to get any in the bearing.

Click to expand... I use the blue on all of the control linkages. Bit of peace of mind and easy to take apart later when needed.

Greg Arehart Well Known Member Aug 8, 2011 #4 Good idea! I think I'll do this at my next condition inspection. I sometimes find these nuts backed off as well. cheers, greg
