    Purple Thread Locker

    Hi Folks-

    There's a call for Loctite 222, purple thread locker for the stator fasteners in my old service manual 90-816249--1.
    I don't have any purple on hand, just red & blue. Has anyone experienced problems getting out the allen head fasteners for the stator after using blue thread locker?

    Thanks

    I've never actually used any thread locker on those, but I'd say blue would be fine to use. I wouldn't use red.

    @ silverbullet02 & rchavis - I opted for the blue. I ordered some purple (low strength) so I'll have it on hand in the future.
    Thanks all
