Subject: Problem with 2.75" to 1.33" zero length reducer  
Last Friday while checking the depth of the ZLR I got one of the screws stuck. Today I tried a couple things to get it out. First I tried a few different pliers to be able to grip lower on the screw this didn't work. So I switched to the other method of drilling a small hole to see if maybe the threads would pull away from the walls of the hole a bit. This kind of worked as seen in the picture below I was able to remove most of the screw but there is a bit still stuck which I was not able to remove and I didn't want to use a larger bit for fear of damaging the tapped hole.
