les_garten Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I also used wife's hair dryer. Took about 4 or 5 min. and unscrewed with just a little bit of muscle. It had blue Loctite. I have Torches, heat guns, and blow dryers. The Blow Dryer seemed to be the weapon of choice for this task. Sometimes the smallest hammer is the right hammer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortec MAX Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 ...When the loctite starts to smoke pull the heater out and unscrew the mag tube. Yes... the smoke is the key. That is your indicator that you have reached the temp at which the Loctite is breaking down. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolution Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I have Torches, heat guns, and blow dryers. The Blow Dryer seemed to be the weapon of choice for this task. Sometimes the smallest hammer is the right hammer I was concerned before I did mine after reading about all those who had a nightmare doing it but, mine loosened and unscrewed quite easily using a hair dryer. Granted, it was a Conair "TURBO" dryer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
