Loctite

[David Harmon]

You might be able to get a Weller soldering iron in behind the firewall
to heat up the nuts while applying torque on the bolts from the front.

I had a bad landing during severe wind conditions the other day and 
the engine mount tore. When I first built the plane, the engine mount 
kept loosening up, so I loctited the bolts. Now the loctite is so 
strong that the blind nuts are turning on the firewall! No room to get 
pliers in there, so I don't know how to get the bolts out at the 
moment. Anybody out there have any suggestions?
