I'm sure someone has been down this road before.
Installing the strain reliefs on Garmin backshells, you can see the screws have pre-installed threadlocker. I've had to take these on/off a few times after I discovered some wiring errors and changed up the thru-cockpit wire routing.
Anyway, I assume the threadlocker is one time use only, or maybe twice. But I can't find anywhere in the G3X manual that says it's ok to just use loctite... except for the following for the GMU-22 magnetometer:
Note that this is for the mounting screws for the magnetometer brace, not a backshell.
I'm assuming it's OK to use the same blue loctite 242 for avionics backshells?
Thanks

If the GMU 22 is ever removed, the anti-rotation properties of the mounting screws must be restored. This may be done by replacing the screws with new Garmin part number 211-60037-08. If original screws must be re-used, coat screw threads with Loctite 242 (blue) thread-locking compound, Garmin part number 291-00023-02, or equivalent.
