[Public-List] Main Haylard Sheave Bolt

[Michael Grosh]

A bigger hammer and a drift pin? It sounds like where it is binding is the
brass/bronze bearing in the sheave-possibly distorted? If so, the beating
involved wouldn't stress any of the rest of the assembly directly. I am
assuming you are going to replace the sheave anyway, I would. I have.
