Removing buffer tube that has blue loctite

[URGILOVERR]

I need to remove my buffer tube and install an offset buffer retainer I tried and it won’t really budge I didn’t put a lot of blue loctite just a few drops (recommended by manufacturer becuse the stock assembly won’t allow for staking) should I heat the lower up a little with some map gas or the buffer tube itself? Don’t want to damage anything. Should I use a heat gun or propane torch?

Heat the piss out of it.

hot water should loosen it if it's blue it should not take much if it's a screw or nut you could always use a soldering iron if you have one handy .

Heat it appropriately…

Should I heat the lower itself where it connects or the buffer tube near that area ?

They’re both 7075 aluminum if you don’t have junk parts so I don’t know how much it matters. I’d probably apply heat from the front and or top of the arch.

Heat gun if you have it or your wife’s hair dryer.
