A kind member @cgnj sent me a spare set of 2.0 of rockers with adjuster screws and nuts. He said he put them through a parts washer before shipping them. I could not get the nuts off the screws so I hit them w/ PB Plaster Lithium Penetrating Grease and let them soak for a couple of nights. They still won't budge. WTH.
Part of the problem is I can't get a great grip on the rocker to maximize leverage, but I'm still getting a lot of muscle into it. They should be coming off with the torque I'm able to put on them. I don't get it. Anybody ever had these adjuster screws and nuts stuck like this? Any suggestion on how to break them free?   |
