I haven't seen mention of using threadlock - but Haynes says they have to be torqued to 300ft/lb or thereabouts - so I think they're fairly tightly in place anyway...

I've just refitted my rear hubs and driveshafts - will be interested to hear how you a) get the right torque in the hub nuts and b) get the right torque inthe CV joint bolts. I can't stop the hubs turning to tighten them properly!
