If it has locktite, you need to apply heat.
I've done this two ways. 1. For a large screw, put the clean tip of a soldering iron on it until it heats up. It should unscrew easily. 2. If you don't mind heating up a lot more, use a heat gun. |

Agree 100% also use a 'gunsmith' screwdriver instead of a regular tapered one. A gunsmith on is more squared get a better bit on the screw and isn't tapered which will mess up the screw head. You can get a cheap screwdriver and tip set from Wally World for about $15 in comes in a blue case. |

10-4 on the heat I will try that.
I do have a smith set of drivers from Brownells, so I have that covered. Thanks for the ideas guys. |
