M13KYF Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 happened on mine but luckily managed to get the remaining thread out with a pair of pliers. Advisible to put some copper grease on your replacement to prevent this from happening again. Basically its rotted with rust. Quote
Vik54 Posted April 29, 2010 Author Posted April 29, 2010 That's just it though - no rust at all the stump is still shiny! Glinting away at me giving it neh neh I've got some tiny jewellery making pliers so will try them later Just ordered another one so if their service is as good as it was when I got Chris's it'll be here tomorrow Quote

paulie Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 I thought you were working a new look last night Vicky Oh I'm so thick I surprise myself sometimes... Quote
SwanageDave Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 I have a tool for removing the damaged screw if you want to borrow it, all you do is drill a small hole and insert the die and reverse the drill eh presto its out, drop me a pm if you want it.Dave Quote
