I also have a brake, just in case.
If you're using red loctite (loctite 271) you may want to consider the type of grease you're using. Loctite 271 has an operating range of -65 F to 300 F. Many greases shouldn't be used between 300 to 400 F. If you're heating the cog/hub area to loosen the loctite you may want to repack your hub after you remove the cog.
