Help with tightening rear derailleur pulleys??
Hi,
I'm working on an old XT derailleur and had to remove the pulleys to clean them. Upon reinstalling, I find that if I tighten the bolts securely, they compress the pulleys enough to lock them up and they won't spin. Obviously I don't want to leave these bolts loose, so I'm a little confused.
Are you not supposed to tighten the screws all the way?? I know these screws typically come with loctite or something on them, but I didn't know if that was to keep them secure, or so you don't have to tighten them all the way but they still stay secure.
Any advice would really be appreciated.
Thanks
