pulley bolts keep getting loose

so i just got my stage 2 on. im runing a 2.8 intense pulley and hub. i just check everything to make sure everything was nice and snug. i went to check my bolts on my pulley and they were so loose. am i suppose to use a thread lock or something so they dont become loose agin?

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure the pulley bolts don't have a tq spec. I'm guessing anything over a few ft/lbs would strip something. >_>

But yea, use some loctite - just be sure to use the low strength one (I think it's blue) in case you ever need to remove the pulley.
