removing frame stiffeners

rjuch · 10-19-2009, 02:30 PM

hey guys,
trying to remove stiffeners but the screws that screw into the threads inserted into the frame are not coming out because the threaded pieces are turning ! any ideas ? is this normal ?

You need to hold the stiffners with pliers to keep them from rotating. Then you can get the screw out.

easier said then done

I cant get big enough pliers in there without taking the frames apart :/ its the threading at the back of the stiffener

Did you use red or blue locktite on this?? red is ALOT harder to undo...
