    Some of the members here have been extremely generous and helpful to me. I will never be able to thank them enough. The best I can do is to try to follow their example when I can.

    The locking shoulder screw is buggered up. You will have to reuse the one you have. It will be staked in and very had to get out. Maybe Peter or some of the other guys with experience can tell you how to get the screw out without damaging it.

    Locking shoulder screws are very hard to find.

    good job there Vincent

    to get the screw out I drill away the area that has been staked. you will need a long drill to reach in there. just remove whats to the outside of the circle. the screw is not in very tight and once drilled will turn easily. the screw can be used again and when you are sure that you dont need to remove it again you can stake it on the remaining area of the screw.

    if you bugger it up I have a NOS screw that I can send you

    No worries Vince. I already pulled my shoulder screw and it came right out with no problem. Apparently it wasn't stacked too deeply or whatever. I can just screw it right back in with the new shoulder.
