SO one of my spare Reomizers is in danger! I'm not too sure what happened but it seems like I may have screwed one of the screws on too tight on a post and the post unscrewed RIGHT OFF?! I have a feeling that it can be used still if I screw the post back on, but I wanted to see if anyone here has run into this? My only problem now is that I cant get the screw off the post (I may have screwed it on too tight when i was tightening the post back onto the Reomizer....) Is there anything I can do if not I see that Rob has them back in stock so I might just have to buy another one.
Noo my reomizer!

No, I haven't gotten that far, but I have 'realigned' the posts with a screwdriver.
I dunno, WD40 or similar? Otherwise, try and dump it into the freezer for a couple of hours and see if the metal contracts enough to work it loose. I don't know what the contractile properties are between the post and the screw, so it might make it tighter. If that's the case, then heat it up.
Just spitballin' here

Grab the post with a small pair of pliers of even wire cutters and unscrew your screw
^^^ what the ModFather said.
That's happened to me before, and is why I now know how to disassemble and reassemble the RM2, lol
When you tighten the post back down don't squeeze it too tight. I deformed one by squeezing it to tight when I was trying to snug it up then the screw wouldn't go back in. I'd suggest putting something like a bit of thick wire or a 60g drill bit through the hole in the post to tighten it back down.
