So my H2 Lewmar windlas has an aluminum case on which there is a stainless steel arm screwed into it. It works fine with the exception of the manual free drop so I am trying to disassemble and clean up the gypsy and cones. Of course one of the hex screws came out nicely... the other one won't budge and the aluminum/stainless appear to be fused from years of being together. Bad combo and probably no protection. I added heat to the aluminum side..... stainless side and no luck. And insult to injury the hex screw is not in good shape.... Looks like somebody attempted this in the past. I figure I will start just soaking it with PB Blaster every time I think about it and see if I get some penetration. Any other suggestions??
Thanks!
Greg
