Atlantic Suitcase Screw Removal
I have some older Atlantic two wheel rolling suitcases in need of
wheel replacement. There are what appears to be phillips head screws on the outside of the suitcase that go into in attachment inside, behind the lining. I can get to the attachment, and when trying to remove the screws I fail. I can hold part of the attachment with plyers and the screw rotates, but won't back out. I have tried pulling on the attachment while turning the screw, which should help with stripped threads, but no removal. Does anybody have any suggestions. Thanks, Tom Williams tomwms at comcast (dot) net |

Atlantic Suitcase Screw Removal
There is a lot of cheap luggage available now and I prefer to replace
the old stuff with cheap new stuff. The way airlines and cruise lines and all other handlers beat luggage up, it is not worth paying a lot for luggage. ~~Doris~~ |
