    Exclamation collet set screw seized.

    This is the firs time i have tried to change collet sizes. I have poured liquid wrench in it everyday twice a day for two weeks and still doesn't budge. I don't want to put too much torque into it risking stripping the head. Since I am not an expert on lathes i don't want to start pulling it apart risking it to become untrue causing more headaches. Does any have any advice?
