need help with ac clutch

So last week I took off my ac compressor because of a broken bolt that was stuck in it. Fixed it but now the new bolt that I put in it wont stay tight. I made sure it was tight when I put it back on but it keeps coming loose. Whats going on with it. Is there anything I can put on it to make it stay on there?

Was the hole retapped when you took the broken bolt out? If it was and you used the same size bolt as what was in there to replace it, there's problem. You need to go a size up. Whatever that may be. If the bolt is the identical size, use a medium strength loctite to keep it in place.
