|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Removing a stuck clamp Chuck Steenburgh, Photographer Lexington | VA | USA | Posted: 8:31 AM on 02.16.13 ->> Any practical advice (besides getting a bigger lever and/or hitting the weight room) for a removing a stuck RRS clamp from a monopod? It's time to retire my ancient Gitzo 'pod, but the clamp (affixed several years ago with "removable" Loctite) doesn't want to budge.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Also, if you have a BernzOmatic propane torch, gently heat the thread area, that can loosen up Loctite and make it easier to break the threads free.  This post is:  Informative (1) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Took the longest plate I had, let it overhang as far as I dared, and took two whacks with a hammer. Problem solved.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
