I am hoping someone will have a great idea to solve this problem. I just
finished gluing the spar sockets, but I am unable to withdraw the port spar
out of the starboard socket. I was able to get the bolts out quite
easily. It also doesn't look like the spar got glued to anything, because I
am able to rotate the spar, and wiggle it just but it won't slide out of
the socket. What I suspect is that some flox might have oozed into
the inside face of the socket which and might be preventing the bushing
---From sliding out. I greased everything, but did not grease the inside faces
of the sockets. If all fails I was going to cut the outer face of the
socket to extract the spar. Perhaps I could reglue that face back in place.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
