      Be sure and get some penetrating oil into the junction. A 50/50 mix of acetone and Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) will free up anything, give it a few hours to work.

      A ratchet cargo strap to a post and the tiedown rings can help provide pulling power. Use carefully and in line with the wing line (dihedral).

      Cheers
