[Antennas] Antenna Element Disassembly (stuck element)

[Avi - Modi'im Orchards]

I have a (non-ham) friend who swears by brake fluid and moderate heat for 
Al-Al seized parts.

YMMV

If sufficient anti seize wasn't used in assembly it may be very difficult to
get the elements apart.  I would try a quality penetrating lubricant for
several days by heat if the first doesn't work.  Take your time and you will
get it.
