Best way to free up loctite???

I don't bleieve that there is any easy solution for this one. If you used the red locktite that stuff is formulated for permanent installations, and short of destrying the hardware it will not likely come apart. It would probably be best to drill it out before you deform the area beyond repair. At least that way you will have a good surface that you can work with for drilling, extracting, and re-tapping new threads.

For the blue locktite it usually only takes a firm steady pressure to break it lose and remove it as long as you have good hardware in place and precise(hardened) tools to work with. If not then it also will be difficult to remove. Before you do any drilling you might want to wait and see if anyone else on here has any miracle treatments other then what I have suggested. Good luck with resolving this issue, and please by all means come back and share the outcome. I think it may be good to share with others who are using it so they may be a bit more particular about what they use it on. Sorry my answer is not more positive.

Try some heat, that usually frees up stuck hardware.

Locktite is designed for hardware on industrial machinery and works very well even in areas where heat is previlent, such as in gasoline, diesel, and gas turbine engines. If the area in your project is all metal it may help, but it may make things even worse. I would try doing that on some old harware before doing it to your pricey RC vehicle.

You might even consider contacting Locktite directly and asking them for advice. When I worked at Universal Studios Florida as a rollercoaster tech we were given some hands on training by Locktite to show us all of their newest products (99-2004), and how they worked on our equipment. I think there may have been some kind of special solvent for releasing the hardware agents, but I am not sure. I am not sure why but heat was one of the things they discouraged us from using.
