Working on my Spyder Shutter, and one thing I'm replacing (for looks and cause its cheap) is the LPC. Have a Shocktech one on the way.
Went to unscrew it, and it didn't budge. Buggered up the slot in the front cause it wouldn't move.
After multiple tries, with different methods, I finally broke it out. Had the block clamped in a padded vice, and had to use vice grips on the LPC.
I did get it out, and it looks like there was some clear-ish threadlocker of some sort on the threads. Got it all cleaned up with no damage to the front block thankfully, but the front of the stock LPC is toast now.
Was this threadlocked from the factory? I dont understand why as there is an o-ring to seal it.
is this normal?
