Nick & Melissa's method works well, and as she notes correct size is
important. Naturally, it also makes it easier if you anchor the
adjoining part (the weight in this case) in a vise. A piece of belt
leather wrapped around the anchored part helps prevent scarring.
I don't generally apply heat to such small parts, but if you do,
remember to heat the part with the female thread more.
My penetrating oil of choice is PB Blaster. Seems to work better than
Liquid Wrench or others I've tried.

Hi John,
Nick and I have had great success getting those stubborn screws out
with this easy method. Use the correct size screwdriver which is
quite small. Attach a pair of vise-grips to the screwdriver handle
and use the grips to turn the screwdriver as you apply pressure. It
works every time for us! The vise-grips give you just enough
leverage to do the job and not strip the tiny screw. Good Luck!

Hello all
I need to replace the governor springs on a Victor II. I have
removed the weights and springs from the shaft, but the small screws
that connect the weight to the springs will not budge. What do you
all recommend to get them loose? They are really tight and I don't
want to strip the screwheads.
Thanks
John Robles
