The single main bolt holding each limb in is the only ones I am having problems loosening... I am afraid to apply too much force...Is there a trick to getting them off ???? thanks, norm

I usually strip the shoulder bolts, not the limb-riser bolts.

Use a quality set of Allen keys. Place the butt stock against the ground. Rest a limb against your hip as leverage and really press down on the Allen key as you're turning.

If that doesn't work or it feels like you might strip the head, put a hex bit in and heat it up with a torch. The heat will conduct through the bolt and should help to loosen it enough.

I've seen it written somewhere on here before about using a hammer to drive a hex bit into the bolt "like it owes you money." I haven't had to try it yet. You might want to give that a whirl while yelling, "Where's my money?"

Alternatively, you could search the forum for bolt removal tips, there are a whole bunch of methods. Good luck.

Sounds like one of your limbs have started to twist.
Call Danny Miller he will fix you up.

Since you are having problems I would send the front to him. He will replace whats needed.

since I bought it from danny I better talk to him first before risking stripping the main limb bolt....just weird how one minute the tiller is perfect and then I turn the string around and its off by 1/8th of an inch...
thanks,

UPDATE!!!
turned the string around again: tiller still off 3 to 4 mm...noticeable to naked eye...annoys the OCD part of me...

so I take out my Caldwell fieldpod and shot one arrow with the Micro at 30 yds...2 clicks high....adjust....next two shots in the black thru the same hole! took out my
foam target and shot my G5 broadhead twice both in the black at 30 yds...
for a newbie nimrod like me the performance of the Micro never ceases to amaze me. I will talk to Danny tomorrow but I am so relieved....thanks, norm

It appear like you may have more yhan one issue

May want check your trigger claws as well it appears to be a lot of premature string serving damage.

May want to mention serving damage as well with Danny Miller
Suspect yourcstring need replacement sooner than later

coolhl,
that's defiantly a problem. you need to contact Miller Monday .
I cant ell very well from the pics but it looks like the limbs are in the pockets correctly..(would need a close up )
take a pic showing the limb pockets if you can ..if the one on the right is not seated that could be the issue..or something going on with the limb tips. or..
limbs twisted..or.. one limb weaker than the other..

The string itself looks straight blowing up picture #2.
Try one more thing. Remove the rubber bumpers and swap sides with them.

Never mind I just blew up pic #3.

I would send it to Danny and let him fix it ! Also mention the serving on your string ! You can't beat a man that does it for a living ! Period !
