I've got to remove a flash hider that has loctite on the threads. How hard is it going to be to remove the FH? Any suggestions on how to attack this chore?

Add to the list above: good vice, well fitting wrench, and arm strength.

5 mag dumps go home and remove.
loctite does not like heat. heat it up untill you smell it cooking off, stop let cool and remove.

It isn't a big deal if you use the correct tools- Barrel Blocks, not a reaction rod or clamshell.
With correct barrel blocks, you can simply twist it off.
