Problem with Loctite

[EvilPopTart]

I traded for a 2k3 LCD and on the minireg happened to be a macroline thingy/connector. I have tried to get it off but I cant get it to budge. Are there any tricks to updoing loctite? And that little sucker is really on tight.

i got it off with brute force. it made me very angry and I dont have skin on some parts of my nuckles.

He mostly likely used red loctite 271 on the fittings. That's a very permanent solution. I'm surprised you got it off with brute force because all screws that i haven;t heated before unscrewing ending up with either a stripped screw or a stripped allen wrench.

The easiest way to liquify the 271 is to get a propane or acetyline blowtorch for $9 or $10 at a local hardware store. Blast that sucker, wipe off the char and unscrew with ease.
