The slipper clutch on my savage xl is being a pain. I've tried loctite, replaced the pad, tightened the nut down. it just keeps slipping. There's got to be a better setup. Any sort of upgrades or advice? Please it would be appreciated.
 
I haven't tried a new nylock nut. I'll give that a shot.

Those nuts are fickle. The first time you let it back off, it's done. It'll never hold the same again.

That's one reason why many here lock it down and don't give it the opportunity.
 
I also use gel loctite vs the liquid. Tends to work better for me. I never had much issue with the nut coming loose, but I did have issue with the slipper slipping and melting the center of the spurs out. I gave up and went with steel and tightened the nut until the spring was fully compressed without backing it off. It still slips when under a lot of strain, but the steel spur doesn't melt.
