Sure you heard this before: PM2 red loctite, I am guessing. Just spent an hour cranking on it. Boiled water, hairdryer.

Haha, you got me there! Hmm, how bout hollow wooden scales incorporating strings to make a lute of sorts? Ideas abound!

So, new problem. Anyone able to help with this? I think I messed up... now I was told you have to change one scale at a time, in order to unscrew the back screws cause the backspacer-tubes are free spinning. While I was trying to get that tube to "give up" to the new scale, like I did with the bottom screw, as you can see, the spacer is in the right scale... But the top spacer is holding BOTH screws and I'm unable to get either one out. What should I do here? This is jacked.

It looks to me like you need two drivers and two bits, used at the same time, and turning in the opposite directions.

In my opinion that Husky driver doesn't look like it would provide much torque.

I managed to save that situation, my man. Got one screw out. Never screwing just the handles together with no blades again. Now, my new scale has the "bottom" backspacer tube, but the black scale has the 'top" one still. How can I "transfer" the tubes?
I'm about to put it back together, one black scale and one Ti, and try to take the screw out from the black side.

I don't know if I'm reading you right, but if you're saying that you still need to remove a single screw from the top spacer, and the spacer is turning freely when you try to turn the screw, my suggestion would be to wrap the spacer with a piece of leather or a lot of masking tape, grip the spacer with pliers to keep it from turning, and then try to turn the screw.

The leather/masking tape around the spacer is to protect it from getting scratched.

That is what was happening. Thank you, because this will be a problem for me when I put new scales on my Maxamet and 10V PM2s! I did it though!
