BE VERY CAREFUL WITH LOCTITE ON THE MOTOR SCREW. I recently did this to a buddies MIAD grip and nearly destroyed the baseplate in the process! I put a small drop of it (blue loctite) on the threads and reinstalled the screw. Once it set up it was almost impossible to get out! I wrecked the original standard screw driver slot, dremelled it deeper, and then wrecked that! I dremelled a new slot 90 degrees to the original and quite deep to get a better bite and it took literally all my strength to get the damn screw out!. Once it was out, it went back in fine with no resistance...which is weird because normally there's some residual stuff left over and give you the nice resistance I was looking for. Now it still backs itself out with the vibrations from the motor so I'm going to resort to tephlon tape once I put it back together.

I have never seen this before with blue loctite. I think it might have something to do with it being brass on brass? Anyone else experience this before?
