Re: [RC] Loctite - Lysane CreeIs there any way to un-do loctight? I used Loctight that was in a red tube, and the stuff was blue in color. So far, it is impossible to undo, although I was told it would come undone when I needed it to and that it wasn't the strongest stuff. My problem - I use studs on my Epics in the winter time when there is alot of ice. Works great. Someone with good intentions suggested that I use the loctight so that the studs won't come undone or loose while riding. Sounded great in theory, however, does not work in practice, because now that I want to remove the studs I can't. The whole thing (the piece that goes in the boot from the inside as well as the nut) turns and no one can get enough grip on it to keep one from moving while trying to undo the nut. So right now, I am stuck with a pair of permanent "winter/Ice" boots, since that is the only time I use the studs. Any tips to
getting the loctight untightened????????? We gave wd-40 a try thinking it was just a bit stuck from dirt and stuff, but that was a no-go.
