I also replaced the car, from the 1-point attachment to the 3-point. Did not need to remove the track, just both end caps (not positive on both, but at least 1 end cap) and the 2 screws for the outboard blocks, on both sides. Having hull 640, which is quite a bit newer than 600, I would expect you had the same actual traveller track. I do agree lots of colored ball-bearings go all over the place.

I'm trying to remove the two traveler bolts that pass thru into the cabin.

I've never heard about this before. Am I correct in assuming you use a high capacity 12-volt battery for the current source? In this case, I would think if he is working on, say the port side, he would unscrew the end-cap screw on the port side of the traveler & temporarily screw in another screw that has no paint/anodise for the "-". About how long would you keep this circuit "shorted"? seconds? about how many minutes? ]]> feeds@yuku.com (CaptNorm42) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/6705 Wed, 09 Jan 2008 14:46:20 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/6704/t/Removing-Stuck-Traveler-Bolts.html#reply-6704 feeds@yuku.com (nickwigen) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/6704 Wed, 09 Jan 2008 11:21:50 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/6703/t/Removing-Stuck-Traveler-Bolts.html#reply-6703 Also upon reinstallation dont forget the electrolysis preventer (lanacote)
