I recently upgraded my first run K3 and SN 822. 822 was fine, but with #295, I had the same thing as you describe..several times. I sure did not tighten them "that much" when I put it together!
Besides what Bill has contributed to your issue, I had to leave the 2D in place and manage to remove all the other screws so that the block came off with the side panel. I then used a traditional pliers to undo the block. So like I said, no way I made it that tight originally. Maybe it's an Elecraft feature...self-tightening screws? LOL So you may need to be a bit more creative than simply rocking the side panel 30 degrees to loosen it up (or other panels). Worst case, you can get one of the "backwards" drill bits (no, I don't know what they are really called) and take it out that way. I did not need to do that. de Doug KR2Q ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
