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.

With Green, if you put it on, it isn't coming off....... Well, unless you want to drill the screw out.....But yea, it is as then as water. LOL

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.

It does seem that way.......I mostly use Red...... the real stuff (made by 3M) I just heat it up a bit. ;)

I use blue on everything except motor pinion set screw and motor/engine mounting screws which are red.
