Pete FWIW - I got access to the track by removing the top stop. For whatever reason it was more easily persuaded then the bottom one. Still a PIA but it did come out without drastic measures. SO at least take a shot - on my boat I can get that high with just a regular extension ladder on the deck. (though surely not OSHA approved) Kim Brown Trust Me!!! 35-3

The mast tracking is in place, but I can't break the bottom fastener, in order to install the T-Track. Likely, corrosion b/t the fastener and mast is the issue. Has anyone had any experience - good or bad - using a hammer drill to break the corrosion bond?? thanks. Pete W.
