How to safely remove the screw without breaking it

[ccrcc]

Brothers, do you have any ways to remove the screws without breaking the screws, especially the screws made of color and Mikata? There is usually some rust in the 3V handle, I want to disassemble it for maintenance and cleaning, but there seems to be screw glue How to disassemble it without destroying the screw and Mikata patch, do you have any good methods? All I can think of is blowing with a heat gun, but I'm not sure if that will ruin the nice colors on the Mikata and the screws, so I haven't experimented yet, if you guys have any good ways to do it please let me know thank you!

I used some heat to breakdown the adhesive. Try using a small amount of heat from a hair dryer or even lightly with a torch.

One side is red loctite. Use two quality Torx bits.

So I'm having trouble getting the screws off a UF2, and decided I should poke around a bit before getting more aggressive with it. Not remembering what you do with Loctite, I found this from a few years back -



My question is, is this still the case, and on all models?

If not, how did you do it with the UF2s?

You can put the driver into the screw and lightly tap the back of the driver with a hammer to help break the lock tite loose.

Heat should not be required

Two torx bits. One on each side. When you unscrew them opposite each other, the torx bit on the blue lock tight side will come loose. The red loctite side will stay attached. This is what you want. Then you push the pin out. Sometimes it needs to be tapped.

Thank you very much! This design is great
