[TowerTalk] Neverseize on rohn tower legs

[Tek Supp]

I disagree Bob.  I was given a Rohn 25 40' and had to dismatel it.  The top section was so stuck that I had to use a couple of 2x4 pieces across the steps and my car sissor jack to seperate it.  It did not matter that I had a ground crew and it didn't matter that constant presure was applied on the rope from the ground crew.  It was STUCK!

 

Thanks,

John
