I'm going to rebuild my paralever soon on my r1150gs, and im wondering which thread sealant is the best to use for the threads on the castelated nut in the pinion input shaft before torquing it up. I've seen one u tube guy using blue hylomar, but another says threadlock.
What thread sealant/paste

Thanks.....I'm surprised as I thought it was to keep oil from coming out as well as the oil seal.
i'd use high strength threadlock .
Hylomar ??? are you sure ? post up a link , that has got to be worth a laugh.

Actually its a threaded ring, not a nut as I said. So I assume hylomar is correct??Ha, sorry, problem with speed reading and wrong nut I'm thinking about...
i guess it would work , Hylomar never sets solid .
it is not an application i have ever used it in , if i remember i will have a look at a tube tomorrow .
I've only ever used it on gaskets that have water behind them , NOT oil.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ says it can be a thread sealant , also can be used against oil .

Moto Guzzi have an o-ring on that nut to seal it.

now I've seen the video , it is the seal carrier NOT the locknut ( where i would use threadlock )
I didn't say the locknut!!
what you said , and what my brain thought you said may not always be the same thing !
What is should have said was the four notched threaded ring.what you said , and what my brain thought you said may not always be the same thing !
