Edson has a new set of screws that "Will not Bind".  I would reinstall them
with a liberal coat of Lanicoat or a similar product.

Rollie,

I removed mine last week. All 4 screws were stuck. They would turn very 
slightly and then freeze up solid. I sprayed WD40, tightened the screw back 
down and loosened again. After about 10 cycles of spraying, tightening and 
loosening, the screw finally came out, barely. A couple more cycles and the 
screw heads would have been hopelessly stripped.

The screws are 2 or 3 inches long and pass through a couple of assemblies 
before they reach a treaded piece. It takes a lot of WD40 (or other lube) to

get enough of it to travel all the way down the length of the screw.

You might want to try using an impact screwdriver for the loosening part of 
the above process. It will help to avoid stripping the screw heads.

Good luck.

JeffC
