Default Flux pinion gear set screw backing out help.

I am a new Flux HP owner. The first thing I did was add blue locktite to the set screw on the pinion gear. After four short runs, the set screw as backed out enough to allow the pinion gear to spin freely. What else can I do other then adding red locktite? I do not want to add red locktite, I am affraid i will never be able to remove the set screw.

Clean the blue loctite off and use red loctite, it WILL be fine and can be removed later on. If necassary, just heat it with a lighter

I've never had a problem running blue locktite. But I crank down on the sun of a gun hard when I tighten it up.

ditto
I apply a large amount of the blue loctite it till it actually drips out of the front of the pinion though. Last time I took a pinion off I needed a hammer to tap it a few times to break the seal after I had the grub screw completely removed
