    Subject: Re: Removing outboard wing panel
    I've seen several that had corrosion in the socket joint. Penetrating oil (Mouse Milk?), applied through the gap between the wing panels, and patience is all I can offer. I did some work at a shop that claimed to be Grumman experts, and they had this rig with a SLIDE HAMMER that they claimed was the way to remove stuck wing panels. Scared the @#$%^&* out of me. They were very proud of it. --Bob Steward >I removed all of the connections and I can't get the outboard wing panel to move even a fraction of an inch. >Any ideas?

    If the penitrent (mouse milk) isn't working then maybe some heat lamps on the out tube and some dry ice on the inside tube with at least two people working the panel to break it loose,it has been my experience once it moves lots of lube and time will get it off.

    Heat seems to help the penetrating fluid (Kroil is excellent) to wick in to the joint. You might also try placing a 2x6 across the end of the spar and try "bumping" it inward just a bit to loosen the bond. Would only take 1/32" and then maybe you could rotate it.
