I have a shorted coil on my MET on the disappearing ball unit. I have the new coil but was wondering if anyone has a tip on how to remove the Loctite from the washer and the threaded rod without bending or breaking anything?
Thanks in advance if anyone has a tip
Mike

You could try heating the nut up using a soldering iron with hopes you can get the nut hot enough to expand just enough for you to break it free.

I used this technique to break free a loctited nut during a cannon fix on AC/DC.

Hey Mike,
I have had success with the soldering iron. Go slow and give it time to heat up.
I don’t think it’s actually expansion but the loctite itself heating up.
I have seen the loctite bubble from the heat.
Good luck.
