[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1002083, member: 178786"] It's also a common problem with old Precision dishes, the bolts can get locked into the arms where the arms secure to the dish face. Also, the threaded studs at the feed end of the arms are often locked on old Precision dishes. I have used a flame from a small butane gas cannister type of blowtorch to free them up. The aluminium expands easily and I have found its sometimes the only way to free them up, especially if you need things sorted out quickly and cannot wait for days/weeks to soak the parts in releasing fluid. A 50-50 mix of acetone and ATF (automatic transmission fluid) makes a very good mixture for soaking if you have the time. You are almost there, hopefully there will be some pics of the dish installed and some signal captures in the next day or two. You should get some nice C Band catches with that dish, its a real nice dish. Rgds [/QUOTE]
