andros handle grip swap

[ElFred]

I'd like to remove and replace the stock handle grip on my andros. I can't seem to get the grip loose with considerable force. Can anyone tell me if the bolt is loctited or is it possibly reversed thread as are the accurate reels? Thanks

holy crud!!!!!!   you weren't kidding.  that thing is seriously on tight!!!!!  i ended up putting a torx 20 bit in the vise, then held the handle in place and blue loctite broke with a snap!  it is a right hand thread.  a least the loctite gave up before the screw head or the torx bit!
