I have an older american series 700 lock from 1994. the shackle spring is very weak and I would like to replace it. to do this, I would obviously need to remove the shackle which I can't figure out how to get out. usually with american series 700, there is a set screw on the back of the lock which allows the shackle to be removed.
Only problem is that the screw doesn't have those indentations that would be there if it was and allan screw/phillips/regular/torx.
I tried the other method of removing the shackle that works on the 1105's.....etc, but that didn't work either.
can anyone help me?
