That's funny - I complain about my Chemistry Students not listening to
what I tell them..... Ha!
In actual fact,
I did not believe that the heat could travel down the screw
w/o being dissipated by the cap they were holding on to the
Aluminum TB upper half. I did not know what the Injector Top Cap
was made of.
SO......since the unit in the photos is from my TB, I will have a go at
removing the studs left in the aluminum top half. I can heat the
leftover stud from the Injector cover (see first and last photo) directly
and then try to grasp it with pliers to remove it. The other broken off
studs have to be drilled and pulled with a small stud remover. I can
heat them by inserting a nail or steel rod into the drilled out hole just
before using the stud remover.
Locktite is probably just a form of 'Instant Glue' with solid additives.
I will try to find out what solvent cuts into it and use that also.
Maybe a web site tells one what to use to dissolve it.....
Anyone know of such a web site?
Instant glue dissolves in Acetone (I know this from Model Airplanes).
Now I don't want to use LockTite when I reassemble this!
I don't want the SAME problem later - but do you really think the
screws might come out and go down the throttle Body throat!?
This is a challenge!
Anyone reading this should take my errors into consideration before
trying to get into the FPR cover and the Injector Cover.
If anyone has accomplished either or both, please let us know what
you did and what not to do...!

PS - came back later via "Edit" to add what I found on "Superglue"
debonders. (Cyanoacrylate depolymerizers).

Apparently 95% Nitromethane in Toluene will dissolve instant glues
fairly well. Wouldn't like to mess with NitroMethane, however....
