To the original poster: read the technical data sheet. It looks like this is similar to thread locking compound and you will have to heat the part. A decent heat gun will do a good job here (don't use a torch).

Well if you would actually read his post it says he used a LIQUID gasket. I know what you posted...been there done that. When someone says they used a liquid gasket doesn't that normally hint at them saying they didn't guy the gasket they were supposed to anyways...such as the GM Aluminum ones? Or the non-Garlock blower gaskets for that matter? And RTV...liquid gasket...close enough...they are all sealants and are made to MATTE a gasket together at the ends...not take the place of them.
