re steering wheel retention, was +4 Platinum Sparks

["Smith, Kirby A" <kirby.a.smith@lmco.com>]

"Alexander van Gerbig" <Audi_80@msn.com> asked, in part:

  Plus should I use lock-tite on the bolt for
the steering wheel, got a used leather one to put on.  Took forever to find
a 24mm socket, 10 stores + Sears didn't even have it!
^^^^^^^^^^^
After retorqing, use glyptol or lacquer or nail polish on the nut face to
thread interface.  Audi used green, but you can use any color you want.
Only a very weak locktite would allow future removal without a lot of
annoyance.
