[TowerTalk] The inertia of rest and the tilt over

[John Hudson]

On my TX-455 when I take the rear bolt out the tower wants to fall back just
about half the thickness of the bolt so I keep a brick under the rear
bracing to keep it from falling back then I use a 5' section of old chrome
molly under the rear bracing and tilt it forward with one hand and let the
winch out little by little with my other hand.

I put my jack under one of the rails, so I am not trying
to bend the brace between the rails.
