yes. use a punch in the "other" hole to spin the collar loose. you will have to hit it hard, and more than once. by looking at the hole in the collar you might be able to tell which direction it was hit in the first place. if so, try to spin it the opposite way. if you can't tell, try counterclockwise and if that doesn't work after a few tries reposition and try hitting clockwise. i always try to tighten them clockwise just like a standard bolt but i've noticed on all my machines that a lot of previous owners didn't think that way
