Susie, you will need to put the WD40 on or oil and just let it sit. Sometimes it helps to put the machine in the sun with the oil on the screw. Keep trying. It will eventually come free.

Nancy, At the TOGA yesterday, Cathy used Tri-Flow to loosen up one machine.


It just takes a drop to loosen a part. If that doesn't work, then a bit of heat may help. The Tri-Flow can be ordered off the internet.
