Thread lock 222

[Milzy]

I’m planning to use 222 on my Ultra torque bolt. Medium blue may be too strong.
I usually use lithium grease on bolts so how do I split the grease and 222 on the threads? Half half or grease all threads and put the 222 over the top of the grease?

I thought thread lock was used on clean and dry threads ?

222 should be low strength anyway.

If bolt(s?) come loose it means tension didn't suffice, a possible cause is something lubricating (too well) between the threaded connection.
If that is the case, and it has to be there, a solution is to check and retension if needed, until the loosening stops, meaning that the lubricating stuff has been pressed out.
Dealers, or anybody doing it for somebody else, can't do it like this because can't expect the being helped to do this, so they use threadlock as a one time direct solution, and ofc no grease.
A combination is possible though, put some threadlocker over the first threads, then grease over the later coming.
That's what was done on my avatar bikes rear cog bolts, fine, but it was a drop red loctite on the first threads, resulting in some damage there when unmounting so I had to tap it out first to repair those threads, in order to replace the bolts with longer ones of specification length.

If you choose to use any strength of thread locker, always ensure bolt is clean and dry (of oil, say). I also make an effort to clean the threaded hole/nut the bolt/screw will enter. Definitely no grease: ignore the 'combo' suggestion above.

my Ultra torque bolt.

Pray, what is an "Ultra torque bolt"? What is it securing?

It secures the crank. With a brand new bolt still getting a click under load. Has anybody added a second wavy washer to their Campag cranks?
If a second wavy thrust washer doesn’t work I’ll have to use retaining compound in the cups to hold the bearings.
