<Since he said the elements were held together with screws I suspect that 
<the problem is actually the hole deformation anyway.? Screws push 
<material from one tube into the other tube, making a kind of pseudo 
<rivet that remains even after the screw is removed.? Drilling out the 
<hole might work.
