Put some WD40 at all the rotating joints and at each end of the shaft. Let is sit for 2-3 hours, then try it again. There is a product out there, Penetrating Oil, that is made especially for loosening frozen nuts and bolts. If you can get a can of it, that would probably be the best bet. Whatever you do, don't keep on trying to force it. That could result in scoring the shaft and really messing up your Renzetti.

I've got a major problem here... I have a "Renzetti Traveler Series", that I haven't had that long, and last night while trying to tying up a few more Stoneflies for the "Stonefly Swap" the rotating stem completely froze up. It won't rotate at all. I've tried taking it completely apart, and the rotating stem is completely froze. I even tried placing it in a "bench vise" and it still won't rotate. Suggestions????You all have a wonderful and safe 4th of July...Rodney...aka smokeater734Fire Captain/ParamedicLos Chavez Fire Department, NM
