[TowerTalk] Antenna Lock-Up

[George Mitchell]

Hello All,
This is my first post to the list but figured if anybody could help, it
would be here.

I have 3-Element tri-bander that has been up for several years.  About. a
year and a half ago,   I took it down separated it into several "smaller"
segments so it could be moved.  I am now trying to clean it up, put new
hardware, etc. and get it ready to put back on the air.  The problem: When
it was first assembled several years ago, not enough (or maybe nothing) of
anything was applied to allow for ease in disassembling.  I have three
segments that I have been unable to separate.  I do not want to use a vice
or any type of gripping tool that will mar and possibly damage the elements.
Anybody out there have any suggestions?

Tnx in advance,

George, KI5BV
