not crossthreaded. Williams unfortunately used locktite on the threads for most of the late 11B and 11C games.
Cyclone, Whirlwind, EATPM, Rollersgames will all do this when you shop them. I usually have around 8 or so do this, sometimes i'll luck out and have only a few and sometimes they all strip.
Use some channel locks or vice grips to hold the T-nut, sometimes you can wedge a large flat head screw driver in there. Other times nothing will work and you will have to snap off the screw.
Quoted from Bohdi:I just used the soldering iron method last night on a few on my TAXI. It does work. My question, since I need to replace some tee-nuts, is which size is the more common one? #6-32 or #10-32 ? Not sure which to stock up on.
6-32 is for most system 11 posts and screws. Somewhere in WPC they switched to the 8-32. 10-32 are rarely needed, but it's always good to a couple on hand.
