[TowerTalk] Neverseize on rohn tower legs

[W2RU - Bud Hippisley]

I have often used two pieces of 1x6 shelving boards and the scissors jack from a defunct Datsun I once owned.    I find the scissors jack to be somewhat easier to maneuver at the top of the tower than a hydraulic jack.  Drill a hole in one end of each of the boards so you can tie them to your belt loop with twine or light rope, or stuff them in your tote bucket.  Also tie off the jack and its handle pieces, too.  

TowerJack (or whatever it's called) is another device to do the same thing that is available commercially.

I've found that with the help of a _steady_ pull on gin pole line by a helper on the ground that I can usually rock the top section of Rohn 25 off the one below it.

I do have a very well made gin pole but how in the heck will I pull the sections apart??? I was thinking a 2x6 board and a small hydraulic car jack. Any other Idea's would greatly be appreciated. thanks guys.
