I broke one of my propeller mounting plates (part 22). bought new a new set and for the life of me I can not get the old one off. I am using a T9 wrench and turning counter clockwise but am very near to stripping the screw. Its not reverse threads by any chance is it? Its to the point that if I cant get it off I may have to replace the entire motor. Its the clockwise (red) motor.

They are not reverse threads, put a soldering iron tip on it or try using a hair dryer to heat it up.

Got it, Thanks, I used a blow dryer which probably softened up the lock tight but equally important I switched to a nut driver style torx. The long wrench I was using had too much twist between the long wrench and my hand holding the motor. The nut driver and handle is solid all the way and I put gloves on as well. I was expecting a distinct break and then an easy back out of the screw but it came out hard almost the entire way due to the thread locker.
