The sheave in one of the cheek blocks fastened to my boom is jammed. In looking at the block, the only product mark is 'AMCO'. Sheave is 1 3/4 ", the block is 4 1/2 long and 1 1/4" wide. Screw holes are 3/4 " apart (2 on each side).

There is no obvious way to remove the sheave as it seems to be 'pop riveted' in place. Does anyone know if there is a replacement available? I've looked over CD but didn't see anything, nor have I found something in similar dimensions from the major block manufacturers.

My boat is a 1988 wing keel Catalina 22.

APS (www.apsltd.com/) has a pretty good selection of sheaves as does Defender Marine.
Hope that helps.
