Related Issue #:   

2558920

Issue Description:

Hammer Case cap screws can be difficult to remove.

Actions Required:

1. Screws can be difficult to remove with hand tools due to the high strength thread adhesive used during manufacturing.
2. Use of an impact driver on low setting with a T15 Torx bit is recommended to remove the screws. The pulsing of the impact driver shocks the threads and reduces the thread adhesive holding power.

3. Screw should be replaced with new (Part # W7152-K105) for reassembly. These screws have a pre-applied thread adhesive patch.  No additional thread adhesive is required.
