Looking for suggestions...
I was removing the grip panel from my new Dan Wesson VBob. One of the bushings came out of the frame, and is still tight on the screw. These grips come with o-rings, so the screw spins (although tight) but is actually just spinning the bushing out.
Thin grips (if that makes a difference).
My concern is - why did the bushing twist out (why is it so tight on the screw)? Did it pick up a thread on assembly and seize the two together?
Suggestions to get them apart? My thought was to reinstall the bushing in the frame with drop of locktite. Hopefully that would then hang onto the bushing and the screw would break free.
I can't get a hold of the bushing with my fingers tight enough to spin it off, and I don't want to hold on with any sort of pliers or a vice for fear of damaging the threads.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
TR
