Default Question about Red Locktite on flywheel bolt for install

I'm installing a JWT flywheel, and I have some concerns with using red locktite that is recommended. When I removed the bolts holding the nismo flywheel in it did not look like any type of locktite was used on the bolts. Do I have to use it? The red locktite won't make the bolts impossible to remove in the future, correct?

Here is a good Loctite reference: http://www.mtariders.com/mctech/g010.shtml.

Loctite makes it difficult to remove, not impossible. It's mainly to keep bolts/nuts from vibrating loose, it's not a "weld".

Good idea.... get some JB Weld and squeeze it on the bolts prior to tightening.
