Seized Ground Control Screw

[clean2g]

One of my Ground Control coilover screw seized on my 2g.. WTF is up with these things? It's like the shittiest design, I've only had them for 2 years and they're falling apart. Anyway, anyone ever deal with a seized screw in these? I drenched the screw and surrounding area with liquid wrench like 3 times.. I put so much that my hands smell like liquid wrench even after a thorough wash. Any suggestions? The hex is starting to strip and it's pissing me off

Which screw are you talking about? can you post pics?

He is talking about the hex-screw that locks the perch in place.

I got it guys, thanks. I decided to use an old trick I learned in high school where you insert a hex or screw driver bit into a ratchet socket and use the ratchet for extra leverage. Torque power ftw!

Now dont forget to replace that set screw for next time. Maybe put a little antiseize on it.

well you're not supposed to take it out because it won't go back in if you do. I sprayed some more liquid wrench on it and worked it back and forth.

It had to go in at the factory didnt it? If you did strip it out you would have an even bigger headache.

Why are you messing with it anyways? Changing the height? It looked perfect the way it was.
