Norton posted:The Niagara will take more than a few seconds of heat if its applied to the top of the screw. The bearing inserts and rods provide a big heat sink before the heat reaches the threads. I was able to apply heat right on the boss on the wheel that the screw threads into using some resistance soldering tweezers. You may be able to get a fine soldering tip in there but using a torch would be risky as it may damage the plating/coating on the rods.
Also don't assume just because an item is made in Asia that the screw heads are JIS. I tried a JIS screwdriver in the Niagara rod screws and found a phillips fit better. The JIS driver would have rounded off the screw socket.

aint that the truth Pete!....just cause its Asian manufactured does not automatically make it JIS....depends on that week's vendor for screws!
