| Jun 19, 2018 at 19:29 | comment | added | imsodin | I guess I should have explained more extensively in the question, I was worried it would get too long: Apart from the heat option, I tried all of that (I am not sure whether heat and plastic go well together). Well I just decided to take the destructive approach and will soon post an answer with the findings. | |

| Jun 19, 2018 at 18:49 | comment | added | imsodin | Yeah, unfortunately it is stuck pretty bad - I already tried using a hook. And pulling on the end disc transfers the force to the screw, with the (potential) problem I described above. On the second still attached end disk, it does not budge when pulling on the end bar. | |
