kwaier Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I easily removed the stock, but when I tried to remove the cap of the rear spring I can't budge it. Do I need to apply heat? Does it come with some type of lock-tight from the factory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Rose Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Heat is required. The cap is secured with something like red Loctite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benelligunny Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 If the end of the recoil assembly is SS then no, there is no Loctite and it's just a nylon lock screw. If the end is blued then yes, it has Loctite and will have to be heated. If it is dusty red and cankered with rust, good luck, it should have been done a lot sooner.

StovePiper Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Just picked up the SBE II Performance Shop Waterfowl rig. I had to ratchet up my heat gun to get it off. I don't think I would have been able to without the heat - no leverage and I didn't want to rip off the trigger guard assembly because that's about the only thing to hold on to. haha.

avcad Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Yes heat required on old SBE, I tried with bic type lighter, had to go to propane torch and very carefully heated for about 30 seconds. Still tight but with increased torque snapped off and could unscrew. Lots of loctite to remove before reassembly. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
