Standoffs stuck to Screws!??!?

[commandercup]

Hmm... I took my old motherboard off yesterday and the standoffs came out of the motherboard tray with the screws... so they are still attached to the motherboard! how the **** do i take them them off?

I tried holding the standoff and unscrewing the screw... but no luck? do i need a vice or clamp or something?

plyers on the back, take hold of em, and unscrew... i hate it when that happens

yeah I just tried it again, jeeze, almost ripped my hands off 0_0

seems the screws were a tad bigger then the lian-li standoffs were...

oh well, I got them off thankfully

This happens to me about every other time i remove my mobo. Just use a pair of pliers to hold it. Theres a reason they arent round.

or grease em up with some wd40....works for me...let it sit for about a minute...screws off like butter.

Pliers are all I ever need.
