How do i remove screws that have a serious amount of loctite or glue that makes it impossible to turn them out of the housing they are in. By the way, they are tiny screws.

All the parts are here, but the wheel and screws are obsolete. So if the screw holds the wheel and then loosens up, remove the screw, clean the threads and apply Red Loctite. It will stop the screw from loosening. If that doesn't work, get some Liquid Metal, mix it and press it into the hole, grease the threads WELL, and screw the screw in. Properly greased, you should be able to remove the screws if you need to.
Most straightforward thing would be to get a bit of medium strength LocTite, or other brand thread locker. Remove the screws and clean them off. Put a dab on the tip of the screw, insert as normal, and let set for however long the instructions tell you. If you need to take them off later, the medium strength isn't going to be all that hard to break loose, but things like keeping screws from vibrating loose is exactly what these products are for. One example here ( LOCTITEThreadlocker Blue Removable Clear Nut and Bolt Fastener ) Make sure to look at the strength. there are some that you'll need a gorilla to get loose again, and Loctite also makes all sorts of superglues and such, which you also do not want to put in the threads.
A nice weather stripping glue that remains flexible / does not become rock hard. If the glue is not flexible and gets hard it may become brittle or damage the housing and make the screws impossible to get out years later. We use this Glue.
sounds like the threads worn pop the screw in and with a pin head apply superglue otherwise take into any glasses shop and they should be able to help please give thumbs up thanks
It is one of two things the speaker is defective "has a rattle" or it has come loose from it's mount, if you can remove the outer ear **** you should see two or three screws that hold the speaker in place, make sure they are tight. If the problem persists replace the headphones because it would be next to impossible to find a replacement speaker.
They are rusted in place,because no one
ever used anti-seize on the threads
You have use liquid wrench,etc
Tap on Phillips Screw Driver--to vibrate
Use a center punch around outer screw edges
Tap on rotor-to vibrate
Use a small amount of heat--Hair Dryer
I think its anti clock to remove however it will have loctite on it ..Try heating the screw 1st this will break down glue, carefull not to burn surrounding area
