True but it sounds like you bought one of those replacement front ends that have the 3 way Loctited in or the 3 way was installed with Locktite.
With your new install, Do not loctite the 3way. It is LOOSE for a reason and that is so the 3 way can self align with the connecting rod as it moves back and forth. Decreases O ring wear and prevents leaking around the O ring.
If you HAVE to do something. Use Teflon tape to take up some space. But being sloppy loose isn't a problem really....
Now if you are working on you marker and not installing a new one, consider disconnecting the 3 way rod and removing the front block. Depends on what you are doing.
If it is loctited on, you will have to remove your front block, remove all O rings and heat the loctite to remove the 3 way. While you are at it, Remove that loctited front plug and re install it using BLUE loctite or teflon.
