If that dosnt work sit on the floor and with your feet against the limbs pull back on the bow and stick something in the space of the cams....it will stop it but dont use anything plastic.

This is strange.... every thread I'm looking at has the entire thread repeated.... and now THIS thread, I KNOW I replied to a few days ago!

.....Lonewolf, I have a press if you want to come by we'll get you sorted - I'm in Amityville. BUT, on a Martin you can change the module without a press... The trick is to wrap a rope (I use tiedown straps) around the riser and the cables to pull the cables into the riser a bit. That rotates the cams enough to get at that one screw that is half-hidden behind the limb.

NOT a good idea to put a pin in a cam hole against the limb!!! the leverage that creates is huge, and can tear the end off the limb!

now from what I'm seeing, this should be post #5, even though there are only TWO posts in this thread right now, mine SHOULD be #3.... teething pains I guess with the new site.
What model ? You sure your trying to losen the right screws ?
I changed the dw on my onza with no issue at all. Just finished making my bar clamp bow press the other day to change strings .
