hold a lighter near the thread-lock'ed spot. the heat softens it up a bit.

I have never really had a problem, it makes it a little harder, but with good quality tools it just takes a little extra "pop" to break the bond.

TQ

I have to use it on my savage all the time and i can remove the screws easily with my junky tools. I don't know on a crawler because there aren't as many vibrations as when youre going 40mph.

look for the blue loctite in the stick form, like chapstick,easy to work with doesnt go where you dont want it.locktite also softens plastic. be careful
