I am trying to remove glock front sight(DEFOOR black serrated from AMERIGLO) so that I can install a FO sight for my old eyes. I applied blue loctite when I installed it a few years ago. I cannot get the front sight screw to budge. Prefer to save the front sight so looking for any words of wisdom before I break the front sight.

Or, I may just paint the Defoor serrated black front sight with orange nail polish but that seems...heretic?

Tricky. Loctite should break it’s hold using hand tools only.

Is it a hex bolt? You can extend an Allen key pretty easily with a ring spanner to get more on it - although be careful not to round it.

You can also drill it out but that’s has it’s own set of difficulties.

Carefully use a hair dryer to heat up the area, which will soften up the blue loctite I assume you are taking off a metal slide?
