How does one remove the blocks used to control the spinaker sheets? Actually I am not sure that is what they are. The blocks are located all the way to the aft of the boat on fiberglass risers. I took the four bolts out but the dang thing refused to move. Since I am not sure how they are attached, I just put the bolts back in. The reason I am messing with them is that the sheaves are hard to turn.

probably caulking

You probably only need something to soften the caulking.

Jib sheet return blocks

The jib sheet comes from the jib sheet lead car to the blocks in question and then forward to the winch. This keep the sheet from entering the winch at an angle where it has to rub over the coming. Go slow and use a heat gun. Some dang fool probably used 5200 sealant on them and praying about it would not be out of order
