RED LOCTITE

[COBRA MASTER]

I put red loctite on a muzzle and barrel while watching t.v., not really thinking about what i was doing. how do i get this damn thing off. any suggestions.

[BIGCHRIS]

humm not sure if it will work,but what about heating it up with a heat gun?

[COBRA MASTER]

a

it dried by the way won't budge lol

[BIGCHRIS]

if heating it up wont work,maybe try penetrating lube

heat it up, like really heat it up. use a torch or lighter (safely) if you have to. once it is really heated up, it will get soft.

yeah, gotta heat the bejeezus out of it, in a vise. if you use a strap wrench on the barrel, you should save the scars of a standard wrench....

lol

allright.... thanks for the feedback, i think i learned my lesson with this **** lol

Take the rifle out and rapid fire 30 rounds or so to heat up the barrel. This should soften the loctite. J/K. It takes heat and a lot of it to soften red loctite. Usually 400 degrees F or so should do it. Other methods I've heard of but have not verified are WD-40 and also adding a drop or two of red loctite again and letting it wick in to soften the stuff that's already hardened. The 2nd option would suck if it didn't work since it adds more loctite to the problem.

Just do a BATFE/DOJ thing and use a 4' breaker bar on the thing.

It's called "271" because that's how much heat is needed to soften it.

+1. I work in the automotive industry and you need heat for red loctite

Uhhhh... Why on earth didn't you just use a crush washer?

Have you ever seen the after effects of someone using red loctite to keep his rocker covers on?

Going after it with a torch should soften up the loctite. I made myself a barrel block that fits in my bench vise, I'm guessing that and piggybacking a couple of wrenches should do the trick. How much loctite did you use? Normally a little goes a long ways. Someone around you has to have a barrel block for a vise, where are you?
