We have a 1981 C&C34 and want to do an inspection of the chain within the binnacle that connects to the steering cable. To do this the cable must be disconnected from the quadrant in order to pull the chain up through the binnacle once the compass is removed. Once out I intend to inspect the links for cracks with a magnifying glass. The wire cable itself has a screw fitting swaged on to it and the screw fitting passes through a hole in the quadrant and is secured with two nuts. With the nuts backed off the screw fitting would not budge, and it appears the stainless screw is corroded in the hole in the aluminum (?) quadrant. Does anyone have suggestions on getting the screw fitting out of the hole without damaging the fitting or the quadrant. Access is quite limited. See photos at:
