[TowerTalk] Taking Apart Aluminum

[Roger K8RI on Tower]

> WD-40 - liberally applied.

And patience, lots of patience. Give it time to work.

I've taken small engines apart that were frozen solid to the point where you 
couldn't turn the crank with a wrench.  Poured about a 1/8 inch of WD-40 on 
top of the piston(s) and let set over night.  The next day I could turn the 
crank by hand. (Without having to break it loose with a wrench)
