Removing Lock-Tite?

I have a P7M8 with the original sights, but not the "screw & pin" type, just press fit. These were Lock-Tited in place and I'd like to know if there is a solvent or other method for removing it.
 
Locktite is basically a lacquer, if I recall correctly. For some sights, particularly those that are attached with a set screw, heat is the thing. A soldering iron applied to the set screw does the trick.

I don't recall how the sights on P7s are attached. Is it in a dovetail slot? Also, are the slots tapered (some sights only go in one way and out the other, so you have to know what direction to pound)?
