Did my PAM111 V3 come with the wrong screws?

So I tried to take my lug screw out today for the first time and one of then would not go back in.

When I checked the screw, it seems to have 'itchings' that the other one don't have...so the dent is stopping it:

Well, it went in so will come out, it just depends how much force you're happy to use...

If you're satisfied that the thread is disengaged, then a tap with a pin and hammer will get it out. You will need to clean it up with either a file or glass paper before reassembling though, and it might take some fiddling to get right, so be sure you want to get it apart before you do!

They should screw in and out easily.

I take mine out then run them back through with fingers only w/o the strap in place... Some times from the outside of the threaded lug.

When reinstalling, turn the screw counter clockwise until you feel a "click" then proceed slowly clockwise. This way you will know the thread is engaged properly.

Good luck.

Yes. I did use the correct screws and everything.

I have a dent (as I said) I think that may have caused the problem.

I think I'll ltake it to a watchsmith...again....
