| Post subject: | How to unlock threadlock |
I'm wanting to adjust the idle screw on my new throttle body, but it won't budge... it's well and truly locked with this white stuff. I have the right key/bit (whatever it's called) but i'm giving now up before I strip the thread. 
Any tips to get it free? |

flatten two sides and use vice grips to turn it? |

Heat the shit out of it. The glue will release/soften. |

correct by the looks of it! 
Undo the but 1st, Its a lock nut. The paint might be just a marking to say its tight. |

need to get it over 60 degrees and the locktite or thread lock will release doesnt sound like much but the metal will absorb most of the heat |

Cunnava thing - the nut is recessed and my 8mm socket is too thick for the gap, and my spanner is too straight to get a bite on it. Time to bang things

Thats not an idle screw . its a throttle stop screw , its there to stop the butterfly from fully closing and jamming in the housing. If you adjust it , you will also need to recalibrate the tps . you shouldnt need to adjust it , you should have an idle air bleed screw there somewhere to bleed air from before the throttle body to raise the idle. |
