Not sure if your mast top is removable? Don't have the answer but a few things to consider. Ours has a welded top and the sheaves are removed through the front and back of the mast. I suppose it is possible if you remove the halyard to take the weight off the sheave. Then carefully secure the sheave with a length of line tight around the sheave with both ends outside the mast. Loose this and the sheave will fall down inside and possibly jamb up everything or fall to the step. Needle nose vise grips may work to grab the sheave and you can use a lanyard to secure the tool and the part. You probably have to use a hammer and punch to move the sheave axle, a Stainless Steel pin which probably supports another sheave?

We have a mast tower at the club. The main sheave needs to be replaced. Can we take off the cap at the mast tower and avoid hauling out the mast for the replacement? _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com
