[QUOTE="patooyee, post: 598246, member: 483"] I recently purchased a transfer case with a clocking ring on it. I don't need the clocking ring and am trying to get it off. 6 taper-head allan bolts hold it in place and some sort of Loc-Tite from hell was used on the threads. I have literally broken or shattered every allen wrench or socket I own and have not budged a single one. Loc-Tite's instructions for releasing permanent loc-tite is to heat the bolt with a torch, which I have done almost to the point of melting it. Still no movement. I've gone and bought some more sockets to try an impact driver with tomorrow but am looking for any back-up plans possible in case that doesn't work. If the impact driver doesn't work my next plan is to TIG a nut to the head of the bolts and use my biggest impact gun. But I am afraid the bolt may break before it loosens. I've encountered plenty of difficult loc-tite scenarios in the past. Big impact guns have always been my solution. I've never shattered sockets like this though. [/QUOTE]
