Trey, Loctite is applied to the threads of the weights to make sure they don't work loose. 1st time removal can be tough. A vice with a rubber clamp is usually enough so that you don't waste energy stabilizing the club by hand and trying to twist the weight. A very helpful tip is warming the weights to soften the Loctite. A heat gun will do it but keep the time it's on the club to 15-30 seconds. Better less heat than too much. Even a home hair dryer set on high may provide enough to loosen things up. If you're using the authentic little cylinder tool from Scotty Cameron, you'll get better leverage if you attach some vice grips to it so you can push and twist at the same time.
