I wouldn't use bees wax for the rotor bolts. Use Loctite blue. If you have it, boiled linseed oil works pretty well too. Once it starts to cure it creates a sticky semi-hard bond between the two metal surfaces just like Loctite does but you can still loosen the threads with firm wrench pressure but they won't vibrate loose.

Awesome, thanks for the link. You realize it's been 12 years since I posted the comment you're replying to though?
