When you do that....after applying MODERATE heat.....melt some candle was
so it wicks into the joint...let it cool (the wax expands as it cools) and
then see if you can tap the element loose.

HI Don
I remember some years back, KH6IJ had an article in CQ about stuck
elements.
What he did was take a pair of vice grips and clamp a screwdriver to the
end of the element you are trying to remove with the handle pointing
towards the boom.
Heat the joint and then hit the screwdriver with a hammer to drive it out.
I have done that before and it worked pretty slick. 73 and GL
