[TowerTalk] Rotor disassembly

[Dick Burke]

Hi,

I'm trying to refurbish a very old Ham-M rotor. The previous owner 
managed to remove one of the 4 bolts holding the housing halves together 
and torqued the heads off two others. I managed to torque the head off 
the remaining bolt. It seems like the two halves of the housing should 
come apart now but I've been bathing it with WD-40 for a couple weeks 
and banging on the housing with a hammer, but can't get the two halves 
to separate. They must be really corroded together.

I've also managed to break a couple of screw extractors trying the get 
the headless bolts out.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Dick
