[QUOTE="Boss Hoss, post: 382829, member: 5060"] The paste wax in the threads are of no concern because the screws are now only doing a fractional part of work they previously did. DO not over tighten them.. If you have to remove the bases I use a torch or you can use a iron just takes a long time but apply heat to the base just enough to make the adhesive let go---then heat the tip of a screwdriver to gently remove the material on the reciever and bases that remains. In fact my BAT repeaters have the one piece bases put on this way. You do not want the surface completely smooth-----bad idea because there is less surface area for the adhesive to adhere to--think about it. [/QUOTE]
