Anything special? Think heating with an industrial hot air blower and unscrewing will work?
Thanks

Heat softens loctite really well. I use a propane torch though...I am not sure a hot air blower will transfer enough heat into the barrel metal to get you there.

if your talking about the blowers that are used to loosen flooring tile then it should work. Those things get really hot!

Have used a regular old Porter Cable heat gun many times and it has done the trick.
Good Luck--D.
