    Bensen Windlass Replacement

    Found a second solid unit At the consignment store today. So as I use the best parts of these two, is there a recommendation you have for gear oil?

    Yes. Nuts removed. Corrosion is referring to would be between the bolts and the housing. That’s what I now plan to address with a penetrating aerosol spray. Then I will use pry bay from below with hammer on shaft from above, hoping housing drops with minor impact and no damage. Thoughts?

    If I apply on shaft, doesn’t seem like it would help get to corrosion on the bolts? I feel like I need to spray from rope cubby directly onto the threads. Picture from another SD owner that I was speaking with.

    Agreed. Do you believe that oil applied onto shaft from the top helps? If yes, my plan is set. Thank u!

    Yes. Got deep sockets from buddy. Oil ok. Is it only corrosion holding the device in place now? Can hammering cause damage?

    Yes. Nuts removed. So I’m up to hammering the shaft from the top. Is this my best plan? Shall I apply loosening oil around the shaft?
