Re: Screw backing out

Chris's suggestions are probably what's needed ultimately, but it all needs to be done in a shop. In my experience (and from I've always been told) the reason pivot screws back out in the first place is that they are binding inside the rod they go into. Assuming that's what's happening to your screw, whatever else you do about locking the thread in place, the inside of the rod and/or the screw may need to be refitted so the rod moves freely around the pivot without binding and tuning it.

If you can get Lock-Tite or nail polish to hold it, it may be effective first-aid until you have additional reasons for taking it to a repairman. Another thing you can try is to remove, clean and re-oil the screw to minimize friction inside the rod.
