How to remove brass insert stuck on binding screw?
Per the title...scavenged some clamps at a swap, realized when I got home one of the bindings had a brass insert seized to screw. Is there a way to remove this...or just some careful work with a hacksaw/dremel to cut off the insert and find a new screw?

Got a pic? Can't visualize what you are talking about, but I have used a dremel with a really small wheel to make a slot for a flat head screwdriver before to get stripped screws out...

I think perhaps somehow he got the screw out and its still attached to the brass insert? I dunno. In which case the binding screw is probably SS and the insert being brass is much softer. Make a cut in the insert just deep enough for a flat balded screwdriver and twist it off--the brass will break. If it still resists try heating the whole thing with a torch or on a gas stove and that should weaken it enough to twist it off.

Like SFB said, Visegrip would also work like a champ, the teeth would really grab hold of the soft insert threads.
