Have any of you guys attempted to temporarily remove a Deployant clasp's microadjuster by unscrewing the screw behind the spring loaded tab? I want to temporarily remove this piece before sending the clasp off to be PVD'ed as it has small springs that may not tolerate the high temperatures inside the vacuum chamber. My fear is that if I remove that screw, I might not be able to reinsert it. Has anyone successfully removed and reinstalled the microadjuster? TIA
