    Disk bolts..thread lock or copper slip?

    Guys this may sound odd but on the GS1000EN the disk bolts are locked with tongued washers...should I grease the threads or use thread lock?...I have had issues in the past with disk bolts not wanting to come out...so I thought I'd ask

    cheers

    I used anti-seize on them with the stock tab locks.

          Ok - I'll disagree with the others then....

          If you are using the standard bolts and tabs just clean the things up and no need to use anything.

          If you are going stainless without the tabs use Loctite. Stainless with the tabs use copperslip.

            I'm going for the orginals with the tabs...I have run the bolts in the holes to make sure all is well but the threads are so dry (after all the cleaning/degreasing)....it's like running your finger nails down a black board..aaaaa....with the threads like this I am concerned the thread lock might work too good....I think I'll give the copper slip a try...it's not as if the things are going to fall out!!!!
            thanks for the feed back, it's nice to know I can go both ways
