Limestone Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Ok, this is about an old Lemania movement I was about to clean up. It seems that the watch at sometime took in some water and one of the screws got stuck.. of course it's stuck, it's full of rust. I've tried with regular anti rust solutions, but it seems to tiny to be working in this. Should I have to drill this one out or do you guys have any other idea?

stiff muckler Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 . .. . . . . . . Sorry buy what is a liquid wrench .. . .. . LW is only one of da most powerful chemical substances known to mankind and obviously unavailable in your neck of da woods due to da health issues and environmental concerns. Available in sizes ranging from da 4 oz "dropper" can (dis ist da classic) to da 54 gallon industrial drum (fur da seriously stuck stuff like canal lock gates, draw bridges, etc. Since you have interest, here is a little more of da technique: a. place da werks in da proper holder b. clamp da holder in da vise c. shields da werks with protective adhesive tape d. form da sacrificial screw driver dat is da entire length of da screw slot (and dat also barely touches the base of same slot) e. exert CW pressure while tapping da other end with da jewelers hammer f. repeat "e." only - CCW g. soak da work area with one of da most powerful chemical substances known to man (24 hr) h. apply da tip of da 30 watt soldering iron to the head of da screw until smoke ist present i. after cooled - repeat "g." j. repeat "h." k. remove screw sm iiH!
