Rick - Another trick that has worked for me in years past is to use a small jeweler's screwdriver on set screws that are badly mauled. Find a size that you can wiggle into the slots (or what's left of them) diagonally - preferrably one with a hole in the handle that allows you to slip a rod or another screwdriver through for additional leverage. If that fails, clamp your trusty Vice Grips to the handle of the screwdriver once it's well-seated.
Use the advice of heat, penetrating oil etc along with this and you should be able to break the sucker loose. Drilling is a real pain and increases the chances of further damage, so I avoid it until all other avenues are exhausted. Good luck, hope you have some hair left when you're done! ~ Todd, KA1KAQ ______________________________________________________________ AMRadio mailing list List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Partner Website: http://www.amfone.net Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:[email protected] To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
