Redux will soften at moderate temps, I'd try that. Heat the socket on the o
uter surface, =0Aquickly and quite hot, Heat the pin socket too,then give w
ing a strong pull.=0AIf you can get a wooden spar to lever between fuselage
 and wing root rib with wooden=0Apads to spread the loads that would be the
 way to break the stuck part.=0AGraham=0A=0A=0A=0A=0A______________________

54 am, Andrew Sarangan <asarangan@gmail.com> wrote:=0A=0A=0AI am hoping som
eone will have a great idea to solve this problem. I just finished gluing t
he spar sockets, but-I am-unable to withdraw the port spar out of the s
tarboard socket. I-was able to get the bolts-out quite easily.-It als
o doesn't look like the spar got glued to anything, because I am able to ro
tate the-spar, and wiggle it just but it won't slide out of the socket. W
hat 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 ext
ract the spar. Perhaps I could reglue that face back in place. Any ideas wo
uld be appreciated.=0A>-=0A>-=0A>-=0A>-=0A>D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
