    I've actually done this, tighten then loosen, and keep repeating, spraying a lubricant/penetrating solution helps a lot also.

    I forgot to say thanks for all your tips guys, I appreciate the help. I last posted on my phone but didn't check whether to see if it went through.

    In the end I got impatient and decided to try to undo the half worn screw head with an impact hammer and just completely stripped the head. So I went and got some pliers and just slowly twisted the screw out while sort of smacking the pliers at the same time to mimic the impacting/loosening, all this with some wd-40 just in case it was rusty (new grinder?).

    Also sorry for the confusion, thought I'd try a pun (tough nuts) but it didn't quite work as intended. It was a screw.


    ( Its my my fault here guys, I was late in approving this post - Grahame)
