Thread regulator screw question

Hello everyone, I am new to this site - I usually just read posts and use the info from them! I do have a question, I am restoring a May 19, 1925 Singer Sphinz. I am wondering if the thread regulator screw comes off for easy cleaning? It won't turn, and thought I would ask before forcing it. Thanks! Anna

Good morning, I have another cleaning question....What is a good way to clean the grooves in the various screws? I have the awesome MAAS cream, but a toothbrush doesn't seem to want to get down in the deep places. Suggestions, please?
