Rusted Port and Starboard Stay adjusters...

Hello -

Trying to tighten up my stays as their a little too wiggly for my taste, and the barrel is completely stuck on both sides... Any tips? I blasted it with PB Blaster and let it sit for today but still couldn't get it, and then a thunderstorm rolled in so I had to go in. My biggest problem is that I haven't figured out a good way to stabilize the unit while trying to crank on it with a wrench. Tips appreciated!

If stuck, you could also try a bit of heat. That's all I can contribute for now, perhaps others?

Try pushing it out with a "C" clamp.
