O.K. just stay calm. LOL Take a hair dryer, and heat the nut up, and it will come off without a problem.

the reason I wondered the color is if its red your may have to heat up your driver as well and rock it left and right to wiggle the threadlock apart.

where I used to work we had to use black I was told that if you had to use it to be sure you never had to open the tool again. If fact that stuff was as thin as water which I found kinda funny.

Wierd it does seem the thinner the tougher. For rc if I do use locker I stick with blue. Idea being anything on a vehicle can be broken dont want to make the job of repairing harder than it has to be.
