Removing Screw with Yellow Thread Locker

I need to replace my Throttle Position Sensor. Trying to remove the old TPS, I starting stripping the screw-head due to the yellow thread-locker. I know that directing intense heat to it will loosen the thread locker, but parts near the TPS are plastic and rubber that I'm concerned about melting.

Any suggestions?

 

try a soldering iron. I have a Scar 17 and had to use this method to remove several socket head screws holding internals to the upper reciever. Used one of those that look like a pistol with the higher wattage heads.

 

Great idea. I feel stupid for not thinking of it.

 

great idea, ill have to keep that in mind

 

It worked great.

 

nice. nothing is more of a PITA than stripping a tiny screw.
