Hello all,
In the process of changing the stock on my Remington 870 Express HD, I've managed to screw up both the stock bolt and the receiver stud (that the bolt screws into) by stripping out the threads on both. I've got the replacement parts on the way to me from Brownells, but I'm having a little trouble unscrewing the receiver stud from the back of the receiver; I can't even get it to turn in the least little bit!
My questions are:
1) Does this part have some sort of thread-locker in it?
2) Should I attempt to apply heat (blowtorch?) before I try to unscrew it?
3) (Stupid question) This part does screw off in the normal direction, correct? (Righty-tighty, lefty loosey?)
Thanks for all your help folks!
