seized regulating screws

Subject: seized regulating screws


Protek doesn't help.  Heating with a soldering iron or butane torch doesn't
help.  Has
anybody tried WD-40 or some rust dissolver like Aero-Kroil?  Do you just 
have to make a whole new rail?

I haven't hit a seized screw yet that won't yield to heat. Use a 30- 40 watt
soldering iron, the pencil type.  Reshape the tip if necessary, and be
patient with the first ones.  Watch your time so you can gauge how much/long
you need to keep heating the screw(s). Twist back and forth to clear the
junk on the threads.
