how do i remove the knob on the 2015 accurate furys?
Although not familiar with that particular knob, most of the Accurate's I have worked on have left handed threads. Might check with Kieth (handi2).

i have tried both ways and its very snug i dont know if they red loctite or how is the right way to remove the knob
They use both Loctite primer and Loctite which makes for a very strong bond. If you have a good size soldering gun, you can apply heat directly to the screw.
I have a D550 Weller and a few minutes with that, and knowing its usually a left hand thread does the trick.
Good luck, .. Lou

Tough without seeing it. Can you center punch it and drill it out?

it is still screwed in
Can you center punch and drill it out. Do you have access to a drill press? If you can drill the head of the screw out, remove the knob and then you'll be able to work on the shaft that's left.

no I do not have a drill press what other options I got left :(
Sending you a PM.
I usually use a fine blade on my very small hack saw and go to town at the base of the bolt or shaft. Then you are left with a stub or just fill piece in the hole in the handle arm, I then use a quality drill bit and drill out the remainder...
Red loctite does take heat to release - Blue is just a good amount of pressure.
Good Luck!
thanks i end up sending it back to accurate :-\
I had a similar problem recently. I did have a drill press and as I started to drill into the broken bolt, the heat from the drill released the lock tite. To my surprise, the screw started running up out of the threads since the drill rotates clockwise. I stopped the drill and was able to unscrew the bolt with my fingers.
