Guys I have not tried it but can't you put a soldering iron on it to loosen red locktight up? Heat that is :)

Yes in general heat will loosen things up for you. A soldering iron will be the most direct but warming with a heat gun would probably also work but may take longer.

You need two "T" handled hex drivers of good quality and a little heat.  They will pop loose!
