Release screw lock

Who does not know that: In the workshop, the screw has been fixed with a screw lock. (for example from Loct ...) The screw can hardly be loosened now or only with brute force. The solution: Simply heat the screw or the surface into which the screw is screwed in order to loosen / deactivate the screw lock.

In the car, such a paste is often used for fixing the hexagonal screw on the brake piston - just warm the piston with Bunsen burner or a candle, etc., and the screw goes out easily.
