Hi Terry,
I agree with everything you are saying and have been a very clear contributor to this forum. But disagree with the type of Loctite used in this case. I think that DJI uses a stronger Loctite product for the Inspire 2 vs the Inspire 1 because of the increased power output of the motors. Your video shared above is for the installation of the 1345LS prop hubs on the Inspire 1.
Rich,
Thanks for your Loctite 263 update for the I2. Your experiences continue to enlighten our user community, for which we are greatly appreciative.
I totally agree that your I2 likely uses Loctite 263 for the Prop Mounting Plates. This is probably the same compound DJI is currently using on the landing gear motor/gearbox in the center fame component as users report that heat above 500 degrees is required to loosen the four screws holding the gearbox to the motor.
Here's the spec sheet for Loctite 263 -> Loctite 263 Data Sheet ,which shows that you need at least 250° C / 482° F for disassembly. Thus, your guidance of using 650° F / 343° C is likely a good measure of heat transfer necessary to break the bond on the prop mounts.
In the original post of over a year ago, the poster specifically asked about Loctite 243 versus Loctite 424 and referenced a video posted by DJI-Mindy. My response atempted to compared those two compounds as I was unaware of the red, Loctite 263 liquid designed for the permanent locking and sealing of threaded fasteners. Thanks for clearing up my inaccuracies and helping to fill in the blanks for maintaining or repairing our DJI equipment!
