Paul-Kent Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Do you have replacement screws?If so drill heads off then when switch gear is apart the studs should come away with mile grips etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeman Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Yep, drill the heads off and grab the stump with mole grips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlecat Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 wwill both parts of the switchgear not be threaded then ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeman Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 wwill both parts of the switchgear not be threaded then ?Nope, the screw will slip through one half and screw into the other. If they were both threaded they wouldn't pull together when you tighten the screw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
