Good that the threads on the set screws were 2023ish vintage. (Is that an April 2022 manufacture date stamped into the lever?)
My experience has been that the red threadlocker carries strength through the years better than most metal treads. Not sure I would try this on an older bike without a little heat to try to soften things up. (My favorite line - "Don't ask how I know.").
(Which reminds me to ask, as you did the nuclear engineer thing - how about using that "really 'weird' heat source you mentioned on red Loctite? Sounds like an experiment waiting to happen....)
Lol! Interesting idea -- I'll go rummage in the garage and see what I have in leftover parts
The bike has a 12/22 build date, so any month before that is possible. I cannot tell where they start counting around the circle.
