[AT] Freeing a B

[charlie hill]

Al, I've seen bees wax used and on that particular occasion
it worked after nothing else would.   Heated the part
and rubbed the bees wax on the joint and in seconds
it broke free.

Charlie, I believe I've heard of the beeswax thing too.
Spring break this coming week.  If all goes well, I'll have a little
down time and I'm going to get some diesel fuel and fill 'er up. Then
we'll go from there.
