Fellow Talkians,

I have a Force 12 antenna with studs for connecting the linear loading =
wires.  These are stainless bolts into aluminum stud bodies.  The =
problem is that these two parts are frozen together after a year =
outside.  I have broken two trying to part them.   The others I have =
soaked for 36 hours in various solvents to no avail.  Is there a good =
solvent for the SS/aluminum corrosion bond?

Thanks for any assistance.

73  Mike K5NU
