loctite keeps the moisture out. no moisture = no corrosion = bolt comes out nice and easy. if you omit the loctite, water corrodes the threads and the bolt seizes in its hole, and can break when you try to remove it. no fun.


wrong. on a part subjected to repeated heat cycling and vibration, anti-seize will allow the bolt to work itself loose over time. a very bad thing indeed on your brakes.

loctite on the other hand, will prevent it from loosening over time, and it will also seal the threads protecting them from water and corrosion.
