Thanks . I'd hate to shear the sucker off.
That would be the epitome of butchery.
Given its a stretch bolt I shouldn't worry so much. I plan a little grease just behind the head and some blue loctite on the threads
just for fun ( but doubt it's necessity)
I rarely ever use locktite. A tight bolt does not come loose. Using loctite can seal the threads to prevent liquid [ie oil] from seeping thru the threads.
As tight as the bolt is, I do not understand why you want to cause grief to the next person that will be removing the bolt.
