Thought people might benefit from a warning about the use of red loctite. When I tried to pull my motor out, I stripped out the head of one of the screws because they used red loctite on the motor bolts. A tip here that I've used before is to apply heat to the bolt to degrade the loctite. The easiest way to do this is to press a hot soldering iron to the head of the bolt. This can help ease the removal of these bolts. When putting them back in, I'm using BLUE loctite which doesn't hold as hard, but allows you to actually get them out again!
Here's the vid of my red loctite woes. Notice how that bolt came part way out THEN stripped both the bolt and the stock wrench:
