Tried both. No dice. Just checked the rear out of curiosity. Same thing. Good news, these shouldn’t ever break lose. Bad news, now I need to order a bunch of little pieces and wait a week for them to arrive.
My outdrives kept getting lose with the blue locktite, so I stepped up to the red. May have been a bad choice.
Edit: solder tool turned up to 900, a vice, and small amount of blood. It’s now apart.
