| Removing Wico Joystick? |
| (1/1) |
| Klomper:
I'm trying to remove a Wico joystick that's shaft is either rusted together or stuck in some other fashion. Any techniques, remedies or solutions to get this thing apart? |
| shardian:
Been there, done that. I gave up. Others in the same predicament have cut/replaced the shaft. |
| gatordad:
Depends how bad it is, might need just to replace it. Let it soak overnight submerged in coke classic just like your old bike chains, it eats the rust away. |

Not even Hercules could twist that loose. |
