Remove Stuburn Setscrews
| This works especially well with setscrews that were originally secured with thread-lock. Put a heated soldering-gun tip on top of the setscrew (best method) or on the collar or gear. Leave it there for 10 to 20 seconds, and then use a hex wrench to remove the screw. The heat breaks the adhesive’s seal and allows you to remove the screw easily.
