What to do with tight pocket clip screws?

[Shawn B.]

I went to flip the clip on my BM 420 and noticed the torx screws are so tight that I'm afraid I'll strip the screws and/or the tool. Any Ideas on how to soften up the locktite? any info would be much appreciated :thumbup:

I've heard running the screws under quite hot water will loosen it up, and it won't affect the G10.

hold a soldering iron to the screw for a minute or so then quickly unscrew while the loctite it still soft.

The knife is totally worthless at this point. Send it to me and I'll dispose of it properly.

I do this all the time. Works like a charm. You don't want to get any flux or solder on the screws, so check the tip before beforehand. I actually use a "dedicated" tip for screw removal. It has never seen flux or solder of any kind. Good luck!
