[QUOTE="Buzzdraw, post: 2694990, member: 385"] I don't remember the last time I had to use anything other than a properly fitting tool to deal with blue Lok-Tite. Usually the same properly fitting tool works with red, if a judiciously greater amount of force (NOT too much) is applied. If the fitting doesn't move next I go to a sharp pointed electric soldiering iron. Has done the trick every time. If I do not know if Loc-Tite is present and I encounter a bit of resistance I will drip in a bit of Kroil. Tap-tap-tap, let it sit and often even rusty fittings turn loose. "Properly fitting tool" does NOT mean a cabinet screwdriver or the like. Hard to beat the precision screwdriver tip sets under the Brownell label. Chapman is good stuff too. Even a worn-tip Allen can get you in trouble; check the tip on it periodically. [/QUOTE]
