GS 2008 handguard blue threadlock how best to remove/weaken the threadlock on the recessed nut? My nut is turning in the recess (no sniggering), I tried wedging a small flat blade to stop it , no good. What are the options? Thanks.

It's the "nyloc" material that's chewed up. It's probably gone cross-thread and might have sheared the threads so it's spinning loose. Try wedging a flat screwdriver against a flat on the nut. More likely you will have to trim away the plastic flange to get a spanner on the nut. Afterwards, clean up the plastic and reassemble with a dome nut and large(r) washer.
