W&W HMC 22 Long/Short rods - how to remove the 1/4"-20 UNC grubscrew from the end
Win & Win's HMC 22 stabilisers use the smaller 1/4"-20 UNC thread for weights/dampers. Wanting to use a 5/16"-24 UNF screw for larger weights etc, but really struggling to get one of the screws out from the end of one rod (got first one out just by dipping in hot water). The screws appear to be glued in, but hot/boiling water not shifting it at the moment. Even tried holding the screw only over the gas hob, still didn't work. Don't want to heat any further down the rod/ferrule with a flame in case I damage the carbon etc.
Any reasonable suggestions welcomed.
