Un-doing bolts that have had loctite on them
Discussion
At some point soon I have to remove the rear bolts which hold on the rear brake calipers of a Citroen C5, they are a well know PIA, mainly as they used loctite, or similar glue at the factory. A few people have used heat to melt the glue .... but I don't fancy that, as it easy to damage other bits in the vicinity as I would only be able to do this with a blow torch.
I guess I know the answer to this, but does anyone know of a magical solution that can dissolve the glue. citroen kindly fitted holes that the glue was originally injected into, so you can access a part of the problem. I think it is a job too far for WD40 though !
