When trying to follow ELEV-8 instructions to remove the shaft set-screws and apply loctite, I'm having problems re-inserting the set-screws again. Any thoughts / hints / tips?

    Specifically, what sort of problems are you having?

    Ensure that you are inserting the set screw straight back into the hole. I have had some in the past that felt like they wanted to bind up when re-inserting them, and I have had to take them out and try again. Ensure that you are going slow and straight and you should be fine.

    Thanks Nick, it's the bind-up that I'm running into, so I'll try again. I seem to do better though with screws/holes I've not treated with the loctite. I also need to get myself another allen-key before I try again.
