ftt Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 I just received a new strap I wanted to put on my PAM 360 (H v2) and the screws came out easily, however when I go to put the screws back in with the new strap I can only easily get the screw in maybe 1/3 of the way before it gets much harder to turn. I'm afraid that I'm going to strip the screw or damage the case - should it be that difficult to screw in? Thanks, and I'll post pics after I finish.

kasper618 Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) Turn the screw counterclockwise while lightly pushing down, until you hear it click and fall in a bit, then proceed to tighten Edited February 1, 2013 by kasper618 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftt Posted February 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Thanks. I ended up just giving it more force and it ended up going in, scratched up one of the screws a bit (but not the case).

kasper618 Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Lookin good! If you ever change it again, try my way, it kind of lines up the threads and goes right in every time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtguk Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Turn the screw counterclockwise while lightly pushing down, until you hear it click and fall in a bit, then proceed to tighten Great advice if you have forced in the screws you may have stripped the threads mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris5264 Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 strap looks great.....sometimes its just dirt that slows it down...or worst case the threads are crossed....if its just dirt its just a slight difference in pressure...for that it just needs cleaned...if the threads are crossed its a big difference in pressure...your gut should tell you something is wrong..in watches....I never push anything that doesn't feel like it wants to be pushed...or turned or screwed...etc.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seafoam Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Turn the screw counterclockwise while lightly pushing down, until you hear it click and fall in a bit, then proceed to tighten Plus 1. That works for me too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
