@TheHokage I agree, I soak them in 3-in-1 oil before I resize. A further soak in baby oil as it smells nicer lol. Then dry it completely. If the screws remain a bit hard to get out after that a quick blast on the thread side from a cigarette lighter does the trick. Sometimes I use a pin remover to push them through if they just spin without loosening. Loctite never does any harm when you are putting it back together. I apply it with a toothpick to avoid overspill and keep some acetone handy just in case some glue spills.

Thank you!

I'm already doing more stuff lol:

Just scored a gen 16613 clasp from eBay and will be putting it on my 16613 instead of the current TC clasp :)

Where the bluegrass sways!
You want to hear some really good stuff? I was speaking to Jensen today. I ordered a 5513 case with modified crown guards and aged. He told me that they are working on a 16600 case! OMG. I never got into them. But he brought a real one and is repping it. Valve and all. Cant wait.
Who is Jensen ?

Do some research and you will find what you're looking for. No one will spoon feed you all the informations. ;)

If gen what you have listed case would be impossible to find! But close in US dollars 3,000 to 3,500 if you shop and are lucky

Just an update and my pics are not working :(

Nearly all ready to go. Waiting for a Crystal gasket. Dial needs to be cleaned so a risk there, the smudge is glue vapour so not going to be easy to remove hopefully no damage will result. Reallign the dial indices. The hands I bought are not 3135 hands so I need to get the EBaay seller to do the right thing. DW needed to be slightly shaved but fits and click perfectly. Full tear down on the Yuki completed (lost of hair and dust). It is being tested atm.

I will probably get the case engraved and polishing and chamfering done. This can wait as I cannot wait to just wear the damn thing. The hands and gasket are the only delay atm so hopefully will be resolved soon.

I know you can't lol, but we can't wait either man. Hopefully the issues get resolved quickly.
