Its not loctited, its rocksetted, no red or blue or purple gunk in the thing.
What do you mean by disassemble? Taking the end caps off or taking the outer sleeve off?
Before I got any of it off I gave it a week long soak in boretech carbon remover, I forgot about it until the next weekend, and that really removed a heck of a lot of gross gunk, at least it loosened it up where it easily scratched away with a pick, wish I would have weighed it first. I could feel that the entire inside around the end caps were built up and holding on tight, a soak and scratch was a requirement to remove that built up mechanical lock.
A soak in some vinegar before will help as well, just dont mix in hydrogen peroxide because that will then create lead acetate and poison you, dont touch the liquid with bare skin in either case though.
For the end caps if they have been carboned up tight- I took two pieces of crappy soft wood like the cheap yellow pine that squeeze easy on either side of the can and clamp it in the vice. Then its relatively easy to give it a couple sharp whacks on the end of the spanner wrench with a hammer and break it loose, Im pretty sure its normal right hand threads but I reserve the right to be wrong.
For the outer sleeve- before using the vice when i was trying to get the end caps off I accidentally broke the sleeve loose as well by whacking the asr while holding the can with my hand, when in the vice its clamped and pinched tight so it wont loosen, it needs something a bit looser gripped to allow the inner core to slide independently of the outer sleeve. Without the front end cap off it is also limited to only a slight rotation, the front end cap keeps the outer sleeve from backing off. The only reason I would intentionally take the outer sleeve off is if you were going to want to ultra sonic the inner core without ruining the cerakote on the outer sleeve.
