Hello Simon Thanks for your help. After two days (30 minutes each day) of using oil and WD40 and moving the leg from side to side, I was able to pull the table leg out. I found trying to twist it did not help. I have posted this so if someone has the same problem they can reference it. regards Rob

Hi Robert, Penetrating WD40 / oil is the way to go and keep moving side to side. If that doesn't work you may need to remove the base from the cabin sole and work on it in a vice (assuing you have the metal base) with carefully applied heat. Sometimes Coca Cola can be used to eat away the corrosion - hopefully then letting more oil in, otherwise. Best regards Simon.

Hello all My table leg is seized in floor docking of my Navigator. I have tried limited force but cannot free it. Obviously WD40 or a thin oil come to mind but does anyone have and other ideas, please? Thanks Robert
