I'm in the process of repairing a Yashica 35GT and am attempting to remove a camera carrying strap lug from an old junker Yashica GS but the phillips head screw holding it in is really stubborn. I've used acetone on a Q-Tip to soften up any sort of lock-tight that seems to have been used to secure it, heat, and a jewlers screwdriver with a small vicegrip plier to try and break the screw loose, but nothing seems to be working. Any suggestions? I've found in the past that a flat jewlers screwdriver held with visegrips generally breaks loose any phillips head screw, but neither one will budge. Right now, I have a small soldering iron resting in the lug itself to try and expand it a little to loosen up the screw. Other than that, I'm not sure what to do. would appreciate any input. |
