Hello everybody.
Today I decided to open and relube my old black 114.
When I tried to unscrew the handle screw 23-116 it was impossible.
It is stuck on the handle ,no turn at all.
I put force by hand but nothing.
I used a hummer on the Penn key nothing again.
Please any other idea to try?
Thanks,John.
First try getting a good hold in it with a pair of Vice Grips, if that does not work drill it out with a drill bit smaller than the minor diameter of the screw, you might end up replacing the handle if you don't get it dead center. A LH drill bit would be better than a RH one.

Thank you Lee.
The last think I will do is to carry a cat by the tail.John.
Me too, our cats are all tough barn cats and they know what claws and teeth are for.
maybe a bigger wrench? http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=164.0

The master wrench form Alan might do the job :-\.
Funny Alan, we posted at the same time. Great minds think alike ;)....don't add anything to it ;D.
let it soak with a good penetrating fluid like break-free or pb blaster etc.....Kroil...if you have a palm-sander, take the bare rubber surface and hold it tight against the screw and turn it on and let it work for a while. DOnt get any oils on your sander.
Thank you all.
1) I cleaned the handle screw with carb cleaner.
2) I soaked it with Loktite 8018 penetration fluid
for a couple of hours.
3) I held the handle firmly with my bench clamp.
4) I put the Penn wrench in a tube 8 in long.
And finally the torque was able to unscrew it.
End of the story.John
glad it worked!
Glad to hear it worked out for you.
I would still purchase one of those wrenches mentioned above, it will make a world of difference.

Next time when I buy anything from Alan this powerful wrench will come to Greece.
Great! Just keep in mind that we also customize wrenches ;):

Sal, this is not a wrench any more, this is a jewel! John
