Stuck takedown sleeve.

<< < (2/3) > >>

Hamish:
 Stellar input guys, I knew the PA brains trust would come through, with some great ideas. The sleeves are steel female, with brass male.

I'll purchase some Kroil, and give it a go. Thanks. :OK

If you don't have a little Kroil in the garage are you really a guy???    >:D

Hamish:
JW, Lol ;D Down here in Australia, unfortunately Kroil is pretty much unknown, never seen it in a store. We generally get by with some sort of WD-40 variation. I only saw Kroil a couple of years ago on a youtube video of a craftsman whom I have much respect for. He swears by the stuff. I can get an 8oz can of Kroil off a big CO that sounds like a Sth American River for $63 AUD which is about $42 USD.
Thanks to Eric for bringing up the subject of penetrating oil, I hadn't even thought about trying it.

Brass has a thermal expansion coefficient about 50% higher than steel. I would guess putting them in the freezer for a couple hours would help loosen the brass side up significantly. Heating is the wrong way to go, making the brass sleeve tighter in the steel sleeve as they heat up.

Hamish:
Thanks Mark for your scientific expertise. I'll keep that in mind.
