Mr Magoo ... agreed that multiple hands are sometimes required . You can probably get away with heating each bolt to the point the loctite softens and then a little more and then removing them one at a time very quickly before the Loctite has a chance to cool and set up again . My problem was that the rod thread was 3" in diameter and about 4 " long . You`ll be ok , just don`t heat the part and then stop for a beer before trying to back the bolt out . Blue Loctite works just fine if you degrease everything and clean the threads out good .... and it does hold , just not like red .
