Thread locker
I took my calipers off for a paint job, pictures to follow, now I need to put it back together. I found the torque specs here on the forum but the only info I could find on the thread locker was that it's threadlocker 88861418. All the thread lockers I have used in the past were Loctite, either blue red or green. Does anyone have any info on the required thread locker for the caliper bolts?
Thanks

That sounds like a GM part number but comes up as GMS RTV engine sealant when Googled.
A few people don't use any threadlocker, a very few use Loctite Red and struggle to get it apart the next time, most use Loctite Blue and get good results.
