Intending to fit new discs and stainless studs to my RT,but after removing one of the studs to measure it and order up the replacements it was a right pig to get back in due to the excessive amount of threadlock applied at the factory. It required more than the recommended torque just to screw it in, due to the resistance from the dry threadlock. The threads aren't crossed by the way!
So, can anyone recommend a suitable way to remove the old threadlock? Some sort of solvent perhaps?.
I am tempted to run a tap down the threads but would imagine this will remove metal as well, so that would be the last resort really.
Need to get it all out as the stainless studs, being softer, won't stand the abuse to get them in satisfactorily. Also i want the new ones to go in smoothly to get the torque setting right.
Any info appreciated.
Cheers
