Clutch Pressure plate

[BDA]

I don't know that I've ever heard of a clutch cover coming loose. Thankfully!!!

If I were to use Loctite, I would use blue there.

When was the last report of a pressure plate coming loose in service?
Blue Loctite ?

Only if you want to have to heat it when time to remove.  Red is ok, especially when combined with some sort of locking washer and the bolt is torqued properly to spec.  There should be no movement of the pressure plate in the rotational plane...only in the forward/reverse direction as the throwout is pushed in and out, so, what you're looking for is clamping not rotation prevention (and, there are locating pins (or should be) to prevent rotation). 

I made the mistake once of using blue on the flywheel to crank bolts.  What a bloody mess with a torch to heat the bolts up when it came time to remove it. 

Just my $.03.

Bryan, are you mixing red and blue Loctite? I’ve never needed heat to break blue Loctite, only for red.

you're right...just looked in garage.  Mea culpa.

Gavin,  Never ever lost one here with just split washers and proper torque.
 But I’ve only done about 300 engines/ clutches and transmission changes.  Nothing that went over 5k though. 
  Safety wiring is a skill , they do sell wire pullers now that are very effective. I started with duckbills and dikes, then purchased snap-on jet twisters in different lengths.

Re: safety wire pliers

A video I saw said that bi-directional lockwire pliers are available. That sounds really cool but I bet they're expensive!

Run of the mill lockwire pliers are available at Harbor Freight here in the states. I'm sure similar discount tool places in other countries have them too.
