[Alberg30] Mast steps and goosenecks

[George Dinwiddie]

I think there are better penetrants than WD40.  I can't remember the
name of the one I have in the basement--I'll try to remember to check.
There's another, Kroil (http://www.kanolabs.com/), which has a good
reputation.  I've never tried it.

Whatever you use, spray it daily for a week, giving it a couple taps
with a hammer, too.  A hand impact wrench can also help when you 
try to remove it.  See <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?tag=alberg30-20&path=tg/stores/detail/-/hi/B00002N7ZI/qid=1029951052/sr=1-2">hand impact wrench</A>
