Definitely not Red!!!

Blue should be fine or you can use the white thread sealant which is lighter duty than the blue. The orange is heavier duty but still removable like the blue.

A drop of the blue loctitie will take care of it. Yiu don't need much. Literally just one drop.

Those wheels just look like... Cobra!

Blue is good - red usually takes heat to loosen.
