Torque is supposed to be 18-20 ftlbs. You could try using a little loctite and see if that would help. I might be a little leary of the red stuff...I think the blue is supposed to be easier to break loose.

yeah, I've used the blue loctite on mine. works great and doesn't fight too much if you need to take it apart

It appears that the threaded insert has backed out. Is that what has happened?

Helicoils can be removed and replaced with the proper tools. See http://www.google.com/search?q=heil...-us&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1 for help.
