| I've never seen loc-tite turn o rings into mush. Usually to break rubber down you need some a petroleum based agent. If it is loc tite you will see residue and it will be colored either blue (removable) or red (permanent).
To get permanent out you need to heat the banjo. let it cool it will come out or break. Only two things you can do if it breaks, one use "easy outs" or two drill and smash.
My guess is the reason that its permanent is that the threads are stripped and this was the cheap easy fix. |
