[QUOTE="parkerdog, post: 218029, member: 5503"] The fulton swing away tongue hinge I'm installing on my trailer comes with nylon lock nuts. I was wondering if it would hurt to put some loctite on them as well or will it not work with the nylon nuts? The instructions don't say one way or the other. I was just thinking it might be some "extra" insurance. Or maybe it makes them not work in some way? Anyone have any knowledge on this subject? Thanks (I found this on another board after posting, can anyone confirm?) "2) Loctite will attack and crack some polymers. When using plastics, and in doubt, leave the Loctite out." [/QUOTE]
