I have had trouble with the screws that hold on the helix on my 07 M8 braking after they have been reinstalled(found one in my belly pan this fall) . After talking to my dealer I find that it is becoming common for this to happen. Has anyone else had this problem and better yet come up with a better screw or way to remove and reinstall?

Guess I had better check mine

I wonder if it's a heat/cool expanding thing? I used new screws when I put mine together and havn't noticed any issues with it.

Clean the old loctite out of the threads before reinstalling the screws with new loctite. Screws will go in much easier with less stress.

Loctite

That is my question is why use the loctite at all? Why not use a lock washer or something else to keep the bolts from backing out instead of using so much heat each time to remove the bolts
