Disassembling Craftsman Adjustable Wrench

[itsDROCK]

Hey guys, I want to completely disassemble this adjustable wrench to get all the dirt and grit out of it.

I backed out the screw as far as it will go. It just continues to spin without backing out any further. Any ideas?

If parts aren’t broken or worn out, why do you have to disassemble anyway? I have had success with just soaking them in ATF or Marvel Mystery Oil for a while and taking it out and running it all the way open and closed a few times, maybe some brushing and re soaking if needed. Soon all the dirt etc. will be out and you can clean it up and go back to using it.

If it aint broke, why fix it?

Just pull it out at that point.

I think once that little screw inside the worm screw bottoms out you just have to push out the worm screw part out. Forgive me though I did this a while ago and don’t really remember the details of it :/
