But I need to refinish the exterior coating... and the nut under the zerk fitting at the Gypsy is badly rusted. The Gypsy doesn't "release" per the manual.
I let out the rode by hand anyway... so no big deal.
No doubt the seals are aged and probably near dry. You don't happen to be on the west coast do you?
