Re: [TowerTalk] Separating Aluminum Boom Sections

[<john@kk9a.com>]

I'm not sure how much heating helps loosen the joint.  Aluminum has a high
thermal conductivity so everything would expand pretty equally unless the
center coupler could be kept cool somehow.  My concern would be if heating
would change the T6 hardness.

 Heat and cool the joint... thermal expansion and constriction.. 
PB Blast may also help.
