RQR Report post Posted September 3, 2023 Hello all, I'm having trouble unscrewing the inner presser foot of my juki 1181. I've tried a screwdriver, ratchets and even the cordless drill but it won't budge. Would you have any tips or tricks? The machine is well oiled and there is no apparent corrosion.

I would try some heat from a heat gun and if that work I would try some penetrating oil and if that didn't work a couple of drops of diesel and let soak for a few hours or overnight. Remember to put a soak pad under the needle. Sometimes a couple of light taps with a wrench will help before attempting to unscrew the screw. Once you get it moving back it out a couple turns and add a drop of oil then screw in a turn repeat until the screw comes out. Be careful not to shear the screw off or you will probably have to remove the presser bar. kgg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
