I'm changing out the rear brake flex hose. I wresled with it out in the drveway today. I couldn't get it to budge. I did a little research, and found out it's a combo brake T, and differential vent. It's installed at the factory with loctite.....guess that's why I'm having trouble with it.
So that's the question. What is the best way to loosen up the loctite so I can get the vent and T assembly off.
PS This is the end that bolts to the differential case.

Thanks

Never had a problem taking one off but loctite is released with heat.
Or so they tell me as I have never used heat to release it but if I were to I would use a heat shrink gun.

 

Thanks for the reply Bill. I was out there with a propane torch, and still no go. It wouldn't be left hand threads would it ? This bolt is hollow. It is a vent for the diff. It also holds the brake T to the diff case. I tried getting the hose loose from the T but that wouldn't work either. I bought this thing when it was 6 months old, but I'm beginning to think it was in a flood. The metal brake lines all had to be changed. It looks like a 20 year old vehicle underneath. It's changed from my daily driver to a project.

Thanks again for the help.

It is right hand threads (remove CCW).
If I remember right I just used a 6-point 9/16" wrench and they always unscrewed very easily. Seems like I have always had more trouble getting it started back in than taking it out.
