You want to undo something that has been installed with red loctite, you heat the part. I have done this with dovetailed pistol sights that have been installed with red loctite.

The front sight tower/gas block is not a part on the AR that one typically wants to remove. If it becomes necessary to do so, it is not uncommon to have to heat it up to get the pins out.
