LeviSS Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I have a Bladetech holster I bought about 5 years ago for a CZ SP-01 with the tek-lok attachment. I just ordered another BT holster with the stingray attachment. I was going to swap the belt attachments on the holsters. I have one screw on the old holster that won't come out. I noticed the screws on the new holsters now have slots on them, so I thought maybe that's why they were changed. Any advice on how to get the screw broken loose? It's just turning on the inside and I can't get on it with anything to keep it from spinning. Would applying some heat, maybe a hair dryer, help? Thanks.

MarkCO Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 They use locktite on a lot of factory assemblies. I have been able to use the to of a soldering iron, cut a slot in the Chicago screw then use a screwdriver, to break them loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtchevy841 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Put a little loctite on the head of the screw put screwdriver on it let it dry and unscrew. Works great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have enough room run dime blue loctite down the sides of screw to the nut or whatever in the old version. It stripped the plastic that's holds the nut in place. Or needle point super glue to glue the nut down so it doesn't move. Done this in a mag pouch before with the super glue trick. Keeps the nut in place so u can turn screw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
