I thought you had to use HEAT to remove bolts with Yellow loctite.

Impact or my tried and true bfp

I may be wrong about the yellow. I just had a memory of seeing it. Might have been on the Ferd, too.

There are tons of different kinds /strengths. Enough that color isn't the end all be all. Red 271 vs 272, etc. Yellow may be an assembly line thing t,oo. I got mine out using the old two wrench trick, no problem.

Nah, doesn't look like you're wrong..... looks like yellow probably is assembly line grade like you said.

According to their website, red is the one you have to remove w/ heat...
