Default Re: Stuck Ferrite IF cores.

To lock cores my preference is the old very-thin-rubber-filament thing: elastic is a good source of this [though don't go cutting-up your other half's underwear].

Over time the rubber perishes, but the fragments still work to stop the core unscrewing - and if anything the perishing will make it easier to remove the core again in 20 years time.
