[Alberg30] HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FINNUS505 at aol.com]

Hey Jim,

That was it; the threads in the old turnbuckle I had were seriously caked 
with some old material that once must have passed for lubricant. I cleared the 
thread with WD40, and it fit the thread.

Thanks alot for the info. Of course, I should have figured this one out on my 
own. I am getting punchy, and assumed the worst when I wasn't able to turn 
the replacement turnbuckle on first try.

Thx again,
Lee

<< When you buy a turnbuckle you get all 3 pieces, the barrel, left and right 
hand threaded pieces.  What you do is through away the piece that's 
equivalent to the one crimped onto the shroud and use the other 2 pieces, or just use 
the barrel.  If the reason that your saying you need a new barrel is galling, 
then the threaded pieces may need replacement too.  Closely inspect the 
threaded pieces, if there's signs of spalling or galling you might want to buy a dye 
and see if by chasing the threads you can remove material that >>
