My old project plane has working flap but it appears pin for hinge is
corroded and stuck. Flap needs to be removed for access to rear main gear bracket. I can't get a grip on holding the pin and pulling or twisting. Being cheap , would rather not cut the pin into small removable pieces as a long replacement pin or piano hinge ships at a higher rate. Suggestion would be appreciated, thanks. Dick |

I've had good success on corroded parts using a product called "kroil".
It's a water thin penetrating oil. Not good for long term lubrication, but it crawls into crevices nicely. MAH |
