Everyone needs to remember: The screw in the delrin insert goes into the body of the REO. There is no threaded insert for it to screw into. Therefore, if you put that screw in crooked, or tighten it too much, you will strip the hole in the body.

It is one reason to be very careful if you must remove that screw. Best to not access the area behind the delrin insert unless it is necessary.
