Then take your 10mm and do a quick / hard turn on the nuts to break the (now softened) loctite. Both of mine spun right off doing this. Less than a minute to remove it.

I'd normally break loctite with a wrench / hammer combo, but I couldn't get a hammer in there. A quick turn should accomplish the same thing. The key is, you have to do this first, not after you've jacked with them and spun the head.
I personally haven't done this mod, but did a little research. Some have had to cut the nuts off with a Dremel tool as well.
