Default RE: Greasing the Hacker gearbox

Okay, back for advice. Remember, I have a C50-13xl and the Hacker grease is in my little mitts as I write this. I'm going to Sears tomorrow to get the strap wrenches. Now, the questions... This thing seems like its frozen solid. Yes, I've loosened the 1.5mm set screws in the gearbox. Are there 1 or 2 in there? Is there any danger of bending the motor with the strap wrenches trying to separate the pieces? Also, if I'm successful getting it apart, what kind of Threadlock do I put on it when reassembling? Thanks in advance, John

PS Is there ever going to be an outrunner motor with similar weights and power characteristics so I can blow this gearbox stuff? It seems the Axi's, Pletti's and E flite's are still fighting with weight and mounting issues as we speak. I eventually threw away all my inrunner stuff on the smaller planes. Just hoping it will go that way with the big ones also.
