Hey guys, in the process of replacing my bf centre diff bush and at the point of reinstalling the bolt but I'm a bit wary as the bolt seems really hard to tighten up after just a couple turns.

 

Was able to get the first few turns by hand so I know it's not cross threading and there was a ton of red loctite on the bolt so cleaned it up but still seems like it's taking too much to tighten up.

 

It's possible there's a build up of red loctite residue in the diff hat thread or I could just be soft, unless you guys can confirm that it is actually a very tight tolerance bolt?

Clean the thread with a tap. Don't risk it.  Bolt can easily gall in aluminium
