Have a couple of ceiling brackets for my speakers - attached the ceiling joists with really chunky coach screws about 10mm thick and 10cm long
They have been supporting 20kg - and about rise to 25kg
Anyway, I need to pack them out at the top a bit to lower the bracket about an inch for my new speakers.
I am a bit worried about removing them completely as I am not sure if the coach screw will be as firm in the wood if I remove and put back in the same place (they need to go back in the same hole)
If the consensus is that they won’t be as strong when they go back in - the other option is to loosen them a bit and slide a shim / spacer in there, working around the coach screws in situ.
Any advice much appreciated
Kind regards
