Maybe I am wrong but it don't seem too practical to remove the headlights & wiring, the headlight bar, radiator apron and the fenders just to be able to put a wrench on that bolt head!! Maybe I am overlooking something and if so, I apologize in advance for my ignorance in this.

Loctite comes in a lot of different gripping powers, red, the least, blue, next higher, then there's a green, a purple, and I don't remember if there's more. They even have a "stud & brearing mount" for severe applications. I don't think the bolts would ever loosen, if it did they could be re-tightened with blue Loctite. Multiple screws in my full leg braces always fell out until I put "THE BLUE TO THEM!" (No, I'm not a Loctite Distributor) Bill W.
