Default Re: Stuck wrench

I'm guessing you used a 12 point box wrench? The corners of the square adjusting shaft are rounded off, and I bet the wrench rotated on the shaft. I might try putting an adjustable wrench on whatever length of the adjusting shaft that is sticking out beyond the box wrench to hold the shaft still, and rotate the box wrench in the opposite direction of where you were going when it froze up. Kind of "unscrew" it.


The adjusting tool the vendors sell is a handy tool to have as it has a square hole to match the shaft.
