Vyc ╭∩╮(︶︿ʊ Silver Member Jul 10, 2019 #1 Does anybody have any tips they can give me on how to remove an extremely tight weight bolt? The cue is currently ~24 oz. and it has a 3/8" weight bolt removable with an allen wrench. I can't budge it at all.

Vyc ╭∩╮(︶︿ʊ Silver Member Jul 10, 2019 #3 Thanks! I never considered that it could have been epoxied
