How do you remove lock-tight???
 

Hey guys I used lock-tight (blue) on the flex shaft coupler that screws on to the engine. When I tried to remove the coupler, the threaded shaft came out of the engine and still has the coupler attached to it. Is there something that I can soak it in to loosen up the lock tight? WD-40, antifreeze in a crock pot, denatured alcohol, etc. Please let me know!!!

Not sure of the fittings you are dealing with but yes if you are working with metal, heat up with a soldering iron/gun and it will loosen the loctite.

I'll second that. The only thing that breaks down most lock-tite is heat.
