AP 1.5 link - loctite
Hi guys
I have received my 1.5 link for the 15202 and the screw inside is impossible to remove. Not sure what AP use to glue the screw but I've tried various ways to heat the damn thing. Anyone else had this issue? Apart from going to the AD, is there any other way to remove the screw? Thanks |

I had a similar issue with my 15202 which I bought preowned. Took it to the boutique and with the right tools and touch they removed the screws without too much trouble.

I'm not sure what methods you have tried but what worked for me was warming the tip of the screw with a hair dryer first for about 30 or so seconds. Remember to wear a glove because it will be hot Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I use a flame to heat up the pin.
