Hi, I did that just a few months ago! You're right that you need to be careful about twisting the cover plate because it can shear off. I broke one that way but fixed it by just drilling the cover plate back on to the mast. You can read my blog posts about it here (search for sheaves): https://svviolethour.com/2017/01/07/rerig-part-2-pulling-the-mast/ https://svviolethour.com/2017/01/16/rerig-part-3-now-the-projects-really-begin/ And see the beautiful sheaves I got from Zephyrworks at the end of this post: https://svviolethour.com/2017/01/29/rerig-part-4-stuck-navtec-u-bolt-chainplates/
tldr: for a really stuck sheave pin, drilling a punch hole from the opposing end was the way to go. I only made a small hole (1/4"?) and filled it with 4200 after to prevent water ingress. -Patrick 1984 C&C LF 38 Seattle, WA On Thu, May 25, 2017 at 5:30 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Cleverboy <[email protected]> > To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > Cc: > Bcc: > Date: Thu, 25 May 2017 12:21:53 +0000 > Subject: Stus-List C&C30 MK1 Top-O-the_Mast > > I'm having a problem with replacing the sheaves at the of of my C&C 30 > mast.
