Try a little heat.

I'd do that, but the aluminum block holds the shaft, which has plastic bushings and neoprene feed rollers attached. They no like heat.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Using the method I just suggested, you can remove the bushings/rollers, or keep them cool during the procedure???

A good way to apply heat where you want it, put it on the screw for about 60 seconds. Then remove with wrench. Loctite melts at about the same temp as solder.
