I need to remove an aluminum knob from a radio, but the Allen setscrew is stuck solid. Go to your local auto parts store and get a reverse screw drill bit. Drill the thing out... it will probably come out from the action of the bit long before you get drilling toward the shaft. -- WD-40 I don't know what makes people think WD-40 acts as a penetrating oil. It's not one. Kroil and PB Blaster are penetrating oils and they can sometimes work although they are not as effective on steel/aluminum sticking as steel/steel. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.
