Can't contain myself !
OZZYSBIKES:
I retract my last post, I have seen both parts of the instruction to use thread locking, but...... I aren't lying, why would I?? 52 years including working for two dealers and all my life and I have never seen loctite on the damper rod bolt or had trouble removing it before, now if everyone can stop trying to prove me wrong, I'll try not to get pissed off !!

I frequently use one drop(!) blue in my jobs (as by Honda manual) with no issues...
The fine debris accumulated over decades (lack of maintenance, some don't seem to care about replacing fork oil) is more notorious for "baking" those bolts in... nearly killed the impact-wrench hex-bit on the '84 CX500E forks...
