Man are those things tight. I got one loose and stripped the head of another. I am just wondering about applying a little heat to the head of the screw and see if that will help them turn loose. They are screwed into the plastic diff so I thought I would see if you guys had any options.
 
Well I got them out but heat alone wouldn't do it. I ended up stripping 3 of them out and having to dremel a slot in them for a screw driver.
 
I just did mine tonight, and found no loctite at all. You are talking about the 4 ring gear screws in the diff right? Why would there be loctite on them, they screw into plastic?

Yeah that is the 4 I am talking about. They had some kind of goop on them but it wasn't exactly blue lock tite, I am not sure what it was really. After heating they came out but still not easily. Were yours that hard to get out?
