that is why I bough spares. They are so cheap, why not get 4 instead of two when yo uorder them, toss the ones you remove from the car and have brand new ones to use, just in case.

DOn't forget the blue loctite

Loctite? Try anti-sieze... How many screws have you had to drill out because that cone screw's head has stripped out because the screw rusted in place? Drilling then having to repair the rod or the coupler.

If that doesn't work buy a set of reverse drill bits they will catch the screw and usually spin it out

One thing I do on the rear coupler coming out of the body is put a hose clamp around the set screw to keep it from backing out.


A couple of passes of electrical tape work, too. The Cap'n

The set screws have a hole in the side (where the threads are) where they press in a plastic dowel, it acts sort of like nylock. Only so many R&I before you need to replace them.


They will still back out without blue loctite, ask me how I know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

They won't be as prone to rust if you put the boot back on to the firewall. When I did my shifter bushings, had no trouble getting cone screws out, and they clearly had loctite on them
