Hey all.
Trying to remove and clean/refinish the original handrails on my O’Day 28. I had good luck on the first very long bolt I pulled from the inside handrail, but numbers 2 & 3 seem to have rotating nuts in the outer rail (directly under bung). I attempted (weakly) to prohibit the top side nut from turning, but no luck. Nut loosening oil also of little use. Anyone have experience with this and guidance on how best to pull these bolts? I don’t want to damage either handrail and afraid I may somehow strip phillips screw heads on bolts. Tx. Tom O’Day 28.
