Another bonehead move I took it apart but couldn't get a clear path use needle nose pliers to attempt extracting the screw.

Well now its 20 minutes later and the screw is out but the threads are stripped and im pretty sure ive committed homocide. No longer does the derailleur have threads to hold new limit screws.

A question i have is if the front cage, bolts, screws and cage are of some value to others.

A moment of silence please........




Thank you.
