[TowerTalk] Neverseize on rohn tower legs

[W3YY]

Tony -
 
As previously noted, neverseize or not, you just need a ground crew to put a
little upward pressure on the section while someone is on the tower
assisting with the separation.  No big deal.  A tower jack or similar device
will help in difficult situations. 

Now, if you want to do this without ground support, its more difficult.
Take off the bolts and go to the ground and put constant pressure on the
section yourself and tie it off, then go back up and wiggle it to free it.
Or, maybe hang some heavy weights (two bags of concrete) on the rope going
to the gin pole and go up and try to free the section.

Good luck.  I've assembled and disassembled tower sections single-handed,
but it's much easier if you can get some ground support.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Neverseize on rohn tower legs

I errected my rohn 25g in 1999 using neverseize on each leg for easy
disassembly, Now that I might move Im not sure how to remove each section. 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.
