Quoted from woody76:that is them, I had to order a ton of them for my Mousin around. Seems some system 11's got the loctite treatment. Was a major pain in the butt. I ended up having to cut most of mine with bolt cutters and buy new.
You can them up from the bottom side with a soldering iron, and the heat will release the loctite.
Quoted from woody76:I tried that, it was ridiculous. I finally gave up and just cut them all.
I've cut them before too, and I've heated. Just depended on how much money I wanted to put into the game.
Almost all Sys 11 games will have loctite on the posts.
Quoted from KenLayton:I've found that when you heat up the post from underneath either with a soldering iron tip or a small torch, by the time it gets hot enough to loosen the locktite, the wood around it gets scorched/burnt!
I've found it is easier to simply go ahead and snap off the bolts and buy new screws and T-nuts. Then it's much easier in the future.
I've never scorched wood with a soldering iron before, but have with a torch.
