Apply heat :pissed: If it is a part that can be put in water, a great way is to boil some water and stick the part in the boiling water for about one minute. This works better than anything else I have tried.

guys i tried using on of those lighters with a trigger an i still cant get it off:confused:

[stilllukeman]

ive put the part under the flame for 20/30 seconds. is that long enough?

[Crick.]

Be careful with flames, it COULD damage the anno, just use a blow dryer for a few minutes and use a good amount of force with a wrench.

[heyheyhey]

red?

you cant

well, unless you have sort of house hold item that can produce a temperature of 6000 * ferinheit:eyes:

Uh, no. My feedneck had red loctite. I removed it. My max flo had red loctite on fittings. I removed them. you can remove red loctite, its not real difficult.

[heyheyhey]

its not red, trust me

red is used on bolts to hold the engine to the engine block, its not moving. mebe green or blue, but not red

Wierd they only rate loctite to 300* C. Based on their data sheet at 150* C it looses 50% of its strength. If you assume the rest of the graph for temperature strength is linear which the first part is at 300*C it looses all its threadlocking ability. Aluminum boils at 4442* F. Steel melts at around 2500* F. Almost every plastic will melt/decompose well before steel will even think about melting.

What part are you trying to remove? If it is a hammer from the shaft, just put the hammer in a small amount of boiling water for one minute. Then wrap a towel around the hammer, hold it with a wrench or pliers of some sort and just unscrew it using the proper allen wrench. The same will work for a feed neck. Hold the gun upside down with the feedneck sticking in boiling water for a minute or two, then wrap it with a towel or something, use a wrench and off it comes. I did this on both the hammer and feed neck on mines and it was held on with green loctite.

[heyheyhey]

i was just exagerating

sheez

but red isnt going anywhere soon, trust me

What about for a gauge? I am just wondering.
