They more-or-less state that the swap is simply a reversal of the adapter's installation, not mentioning or making the owner aware of what to do with the Threadlocker - I've been in touch with Apple Engineering. On the last page of the adapter's instructions are the instructions for swapping the adapter for the stand. The other side of this is fault that IMO lies with Apple. IMO, the YouTuber didn't know what he was doing here and his gripe is misplaced. For removal of fasteners with that material, Loctite recommends either shearing the fastener (yes, that's the first option) or heating the fastener to almost 500☏ to soften the Threadlocker. When I pulled the mounting screws out of the packaging, the Threadlocker was immediately visible to me. The screws used to fasten the adapter have Blue Threadlocker on the first several threads. He's wrong about the screws being zinc - they're steel. ![]() ![]() His rant is misdirected and, if he was paying attention, he likely would have avoided his situation.

I own this same combination but waited to install the adapter, which is still in the box. ![]()
