Loctite

Put a soldering on the bolts near the nuts.Careful and don't let any excess solder get in the threads, from the iron. Heat will cause the locktite to break loose.

I had a bad landing during severe wind conditions the other day and  
the engine mount tore. When I first built the plane, the engine mount  
kept loosening up, so I loctited the bolts. Now the loctite is so  
strong that the blind nuts are turning on the firewall! No room to get  
pliers in there, so I don't know how to get the bolts out at the  
moment. Anybody out there have any suggestions?
