yone who responded. It seems the problem-was I had overestimated-my upp
er-body strength :-) I was trying to pry the wings apart by pushing on ea
ch wing root. Instead, I inserted a bottle jack horizontally with a long 2x
4, and I was able to pry the two wings apart-There was indeed some epoxy 
around the bushing. It was not much, but-I guess it-was enough to cause
 a significant resistance. =0A-=0A=0A=0A=0AOn Sun, Sep 22, 2013 at 3:37 P

ping 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 a
ble 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-insi
de face-of the socket which and might be preventing the bushing from slid
ing out. I greased everything, but did not grease the inside faces of the s
ockets.--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 i
deas would be appreciated.=0A>>>-=0A>>>-=0A>>>-=0A>>>-=0A>>>D=3D
