Do you guys apply any oil, grease, lube, etc to your accessory screws when installing them? Bought some PB blaster but haven't tried it yet and honestly...not feeling too optimistic that it will work either. I broke an allen wrench trying to get my sight off.
you're going to have to deal with a smelly bow for a while...try the PB. Let it soak it up for a day and try using a allen wrench again...if it doesn't move/breaks the wrench then hope fully you can get a vise-grips to it(cranked tight!). You'll likely need to get new bolts after using the vise-grips though(they'll pinch the allen wrench holes). Good luck.
Liquid Wrench... Alternately loosen and tighten the screws a little at a time until they break loose. You can also get an allen socket wrench adapter to use in a ratchet for more leverage. Take your time and you'll get it.
Use a hair dryer and heat up around the screws. that will help get the penetrating oil sucked into the threads.
If you have an allen socket on the screw, give it a sharp rap with a small hammer with the riser on a solid surface. Don't get carried away, you just want to jar it a bit. Along with an over night soak in liquid wrench, this ought to get it going. Work it out slowly as. Problem is common with dissimilar metals, alloy riser and steel screws. A little wax may help as Tackle Box suggested, or a bit of anti-seize compound found at any auto parts store will help. I put a tiny amount on any spark plug I install in any aluminum head, ends the dissimilar metals problem. Make sure you check the tightness of the screws several times after initial install.
