Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Neverseize on rohn tower legs
I disagree Bob. I was given a Rohn 25 40' and had to dismatel it. The top
section was so stuck that I had to use a couple of 2x4 pieces across the
steps and my car sissor jack to seperate it. It did not matter that I had a
ground crew and it didn't matter that constant presure was applied on the
rope from the ground crew. It was STUCK!
Thanks,
