here's the dillemma,
the spindle broke, while the top part was screwed into
the bottom part... basically the bottom screw bit of
the top part snapped off, and remains inside the
bottom part. i think it was screwed in very tightly
(perhaps too tightly). if i reglue it with
superglue... will the bond be strong enough to unscrew
it? or do you think it will just come undone as soon
as the twisting pressure is applied?
