    How to loosen part with Loctite without heat

    I have two ULE body with the standard feedneck Loctite in place (dont know if its red or blue). Tried strap wrench and heat gun and it did not worked (strap wrench slip more than grip).
    I have seen a video on youtube of someone melting red loctite with chlorinated brake cleaner. Anyone tried this method?
    He also mentionned it was not affecting anodizing (will try it on a cheap part before to be sure).

    Here is what he used in the video

    Nope but would have given it a try on my truck last weekend. Damn Ford douses their tailgate hinge bolts in red loctite ended up having to use a torch on the Torx head to add enough heat along its length to break them loose. There was so much loctite on them I ended up just buying new bolts vs. trying to clean them up.

      They probably did that to help insure that the bolts wouldn’t rust out. They won’t rust if coated in glue. Not in general, just for Ford. They like to use cheap metal with expensive coatings and hope for the best.

      That and they love to mix Metric and SAE fasteners (1993 F350). I have no idea what they were thinking sometimes, pick one damn it I don't care which just pick one.

    In my experience (industrial and commercial) brake solvent chlorinated or not hasn't had any noticeable effect on red lockers.

    You're on the right track with the heat gun probably just need to heat longer .

      Heat is really the only option

        That CRC is tetrachloroethylene, I think. I wonder if Henkel publishes compatibility charts.

        They recommend a solvent called "Chisel" but it's methylene chloride-based.

          Whats the concern about using heat on the feedneck?

          I would think a heat gun would be okay, I wouldn't break out the torch though.

            chlorinated brake clean will probably affect the ano (dont think it will loosen loctite). using a heat gun or hair dryer is a safer method for anodized aluminum - gotta heat it till u smell loctite melt, see smoke, or bubbling near threads

              I’m %99 sure the brake cleaner claim isn’t real. Brake clean doesn’t dissolve much of anything, that’s sort of the point. You can’t have it attacking everything it touches when mechanics basically spray everything with it all day.

              Heat is what you need, guns…may not be enough. Fire works real good.

                Go test it. I don’t think it will do shit.

                  There's a modeling product we use in the hobby industry called Debonder, it's designed for cryoanlate(sp) superglue and such. That might work. Tertiary to that, you could try something like LA's totally awesome which should break it down chemically without damaging the anno, but, I would test that first, or really all of it first. Concentrated Purple Power or Superclean might do it as well as they are designed to break down buildup. Realistically, I'm sure there's probably a material designed to do it specifically, but I would hedge the bet it's either annoyingly expensive or toxic. My suggest is high strength solvents as listed above.

                      on the loctite website, you can see the "release temp" needed for each of their products. Look up the specs on the heat gun and see if it will get that hot. If it does, youll just need to take your time and make sure the treads get that hot. remember aluminum is great at absorbing heat as well as releasing heat.

                        Localized heat greater than 550° F is the only way. It’s the Devils sauce! It’s meant to be permanent. The bolt or feedneck will rip its threads out before the Loctite let’s go without heat. BreakClean won’t touch it I don’t care what the YouTube video says.

                          Even if that does "work on loctite", there's no way that stuff would leach into the inner threads of something that's screwed in tight.

                            Brake Clean might Clean the loctite... but it won't penetrate into the threads.

                            Heat is the only way.

                            Brake Clean is amazing at removing oils.
