The screw broke off too soon and 1/4" of it is showing through the floor. Tried vice grips but can't remove it. The other ones all broke correctly...

Sorry, but I did not experience this issue so I can't really help you. If you can get enough grip with the vice grips, remember to twist out and not pull due to the threads on the screw.

If vice grips did not work, cutting the remaining area may be only option. Maybe manufacturer has recommendations.

I would try the vice grips or may be use a hammer to try and break it off at the floor

we were installing(putting it in) and it broke. So I have to order a new one.. What broke was the little plastic 'c' clip that holds it in place.

Try contacting the manufacturer and see if they will send you another. If they will not or can not, they might be able to give you the size of the screw and you can get from a local hardware store.

Find the crack and just click it off. You might need a knife or screw driver.

I would suggest starting with contacting Pachmayr. I know they are a good co. and should stand by their products. It may cost a few bucks to replace but would be worth it. I have these grips and love them.

The friction-y stuff inside may have just gotten a little tacky and doesn't want to let go, I'd say just pull it apart slowly and forcefully. If it breaks, I truly apologize. Maybe you have a defect(?). If so, I would contact the manufacturer.

I had to force the screw to break free and start unscrewing. I thought I would never get it off and now it is stripped so I don't even use the screw anymore.

Not sure mine hasn't broke on it. I'd recommend calling the manufacture to find out. Seems like it would be easy to replace just some screws.

I had problems with it too. I broke one of them trying to open it. It snaps off. You have to put your finger nails in the grooves and it should snap right off

You could contact RCA. I'm sure they have replacement parts but they will make you pay through the nose. My suggestion is to take one of the screws to a local hardware store say I need 4 of these and they will find a perfect match for maybe 25 cents a screw. You can try Lowes or Home Depot but the quality of service is way below a small store like Ace or True Value IMHO

Mine came right off when I pryed my nail under it. If the unit is faced down, I tugged up on the slot on the side. Or, try contacting the manufacturer. Their literature that came with the unit indicated they have good customer service. Sorry, wish I could help more.

I think the quickest way would be go to your nearest hardware store (true-value,lowes,ace,ect) and buy one or find the Mfg if in the US and e-mail them for a replacement .

broke my bits too. i grinded the heads off the screws then welded the hinge to the truck. I guess u could try to get the screw out with a tap

On my unit the 3 screws that hold the blade will not release. I have tried both directions...thinking they may be reverse thread...still no movement.Tried some penetrant...no luck.Any thoughts

I tapped them out with a hammer. But, they weren't worn down when I did it. Vice grips should work as well if you have them. Good luck.

Remove one of the feet and take it to the hardware store. Ask a sales person for help if you need to. They may have a suitable replacement.

Use loctite, OR there's this kewl new invention called the internet where you can find just about anything including replacement pivot screws in whatever size you need. ;)
