Seized turbuckles
Hello,
I was checking the rig tension, when I wanted to adjust the lower shrouds I found one of them stuck!
I tried WD 40 without any success. The problem is that with an adapted wrench 17mm you can't keep the lower fixation to turn since it is probably a ball under the stainless steel cover.
Has anyone been in a similar situation ? Do you have a real life solution.
I saw something with ATF and acetone ? I have also ordered some KROIL from KANO.
Thanks
Denis
