The red stuff, number 271, is that too much for rotor bolts?

I mean the rotors are gonna need to come off at some point but all being well not in the near future.

Apparently you can get the stuff to loosen up with heat but how much heat?

Merry Christmas btw

run a high torq rotor bolt in the threads to clear some of it out. a little left will probably be ok.

No Blue loctite? If the threads still have a bit of loctite on them just put the bolts back in, they should be fine

Only use the blue stuff, you'll probably get it in halfords or any other motor factors

Cheap trick as long as the threads are clean a spot of nail varnish will do the same job as blue loctite
