Default threadlock question

I put threadlock on my flywheel bolts and torqued it down, then the next day i realized that i forgot to put the damn bearing in so i pulled it off and of course the threadlock is all dried up on the threads and stuff. so my question is what is the best way to get the **** off? should i soak them in something or just chip away?

I've never soaked it in anything, I would just get a nut of the same thread pitch and pass it through a few times. That always worked for me.
