If this is the wrong spot my appoligies,now that said can someone tell me how to breakdown super glue? I usually put a dab on the threads after a nut is installed to keep from backing off. Never had a problem with this until now. I have used super glue on my screws on my rc4wd oem steelies now I can't get them to break loose. I have already tried goof off with no results. Any other suggestions ?

Thanks,Nathan

Acetone is your best bet and easy to come buy. Acetone is what fingernail polish remover is made from.

Next time for your screws use blue loctite. It's made for that purpose.

Yeah I try to remember the blue loctite however I suffer from crs"can't remember sh__" syndrome lol. And the wife has plenty of acetone so hope it works thanks for the info guys.

Acetone and a Q-Tip. Just wet it good for a min then it will soften up. Works on tires as well.

I've got some C.A. Debonder that I picked up at my LHS. I think it's made by Great Planes. I only used it once to take tires off some plastic rims. It worked pretty good, softened up the glue enough to work the tires off.
