One method to try: Saturate the joint with penetrant (WD-40, CRC, Boeshield, or equivalent) overnight. Tap gently on the outside of the joint with a soft-faced hammer (wood or plastic or rubber -- not metal) while two strong and dumb buddies (Bruno and Ahhnold) pull and twist on the two segments. Increase severity of tapping (put joint on a solid surface) and allow Bruno and Ahhnold to twist and pull with more force. If it works, feed B and A some steak and put them back on leash. If it does not work, go back to 1. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Sat Oct 28 2000 - 19:15:54 PDT
