Anyone have experience loosening the loctited pivot on the ZT 0470? How did you do it?

Can't undo the pivot on my ZT 0470. I searched it up and it appears to be a common issue that the pivot on this model is loctited from factory.

The worst part is that there is only one side of the pivot with a torx hole. The other side has nothing so there is virtually no effective way to secure the opposing side when attempting to unscrew the pivot.

I tried to heat it up with a blow dryer like how someone else did on YouTube and got his undone but it didn't work for mine.

Did anyone with a ZT 0470 successfully get their loctited pivot undone? How did you do it?

No trouble taking mine apart. Just use a good torx wrench. I don'r recall if the other side turned when taking it apart. If it does and you applied heat, press a piece of rubber against the side that turns while using the good quality torx wrench.
The cheap wrenches can end up stripping the torx head. Best of luck.
