Work RS lug keeps backing off

So I've got a set of Work RS lugs for my Work wheels and I have one lug on the back wheel that has backed off twice now. Luckily I haven't lost it yet. I thought after the first time I didn't torque them done enough and sure enough almost every one of them could use more tightening. So, I torqued them down a little more but now this one lug still backed off. I tighten it again with just a regular ratchet as I could and hopefully it will stay. Anyone having issues like this??

Could use a little BLUE loctite. You saw me put BLUE in that sentence correct?


BLUE not red.



Blue loctite should keep them from backing off while not damaging the threads.


can't say this more clearly.
DO NOT USE RED LOCTITE


On another note, they shouldn't be backing off anyway. You sure have the right thread size lugs?

Yeah Loctite would keep them on there. And yes I know the difference between red and blue loctite. Yeah they are defiantly the right lugs for the car. They fit the studs perfectly.

The blue loctite is your friend then.

Sorry if my post sounded like it was meant from someone that was dumb. The last thing I want to be blamed for is someone not being able to get their lugs off their ride. IMHO, they shouldn't even make red.

Good luck to you.
