I am in Algarve in Portugal. I have a 1.5 meter dish with a quad Invacom c120 LNB pointing at 28.2E. I lost signal on one o/p and on checking my LNB one of the F connectors had broken. The screw bit cannot be budged as it appears to be corroded on to the LNB. Does anyone know how to get this off without damaging the LNB?

Try a bit of WD40's rust penetrate spray on it, let it soak for about a half hour then tap on it, then try and remove it, can you post a photo on whats going on?

Get some of this stuff.

Thanks for your suggestion. I have got it off by cutting the screw with wire clippers
