I am replacing my swing keel cable with the CD kit, and all was going well removing the old cable until finding the worn and frozen turning ball. The previous owner had not changed the ball since 2008. Both the ball and pin are frozen. Does anyone have suggestions on removing the pin without causing any damage to the volano or pipe? Thank you.
