RE: Issue removing blade grips
STOP USING THOSE CHEAP ALLEN (HEX) WRENCHES, and get your self a set of good quality hex drivers from ALIGN, MAVRICK,etc...
Chances are those cheap unhardened hex wrenches are stripping-out before the socket-head bolts are.
Also a trick for releasing loctited bolts, is to reach into the bladegrip with a soldering-iron (pencil-tip) & heat the bolt, then try removing it.
