It depends upon how far up the mast your antenna is. If the antenna is up a
few feet,
it may be easier the get a pipe Channelock. Wrap it around the mast so the
mast
can't slide down (I wouldn't trust the thrust bearing set screws to hold
that weight).
The other problem could be that the mast could swing out due to the weight
of the
antenna above in which case you would have to bolt the bottom part of the
mast
inside of the tower using some structural steel so that it can't move. It
really
depends upon your particular situation.

===============================================================
Can someone please give me some advice. I was thinking of changing out my
rotor
and really do not want to remove the ta-33 from the tower. Can I simply
loosen
the mast clamp and lower the antenna to rest on the thrust bearing then
loosen
the rotor clamp to slide the mast up to remove the rotor. What would be the
easiest process to switch out a rotor without removing the antenna. Thanks
in
advance guys. Have a great memorial weekend guys.
