Loose shifter boss on Trek aluminum frame

[RJ Peterson]

I just discovered a loose shifter lever boss on my old TREK 1100 aluminum
frame. How can these be tightened? I notice a little set screw way back in
there but it seems to be rather stuck. Is this the way to go at it?

Thanks for the help.

The fitting needs to be removed & reinstalled, using high-quality epoxy
adhesive (metal-to-metal type). To remove it, you'll need to figure out
which side has the head for the screw that goes from one side to the other,
and remove that first.
