Crank down king Crowe won't drop down

[live4chrome]

Buddy has a king Crowe and we are supposed to take it to red on Friday. One side of the house won't drop down. It seems due to rust. Any suggestions on how to fix it In time for our trip? He has tried heat, pounding it, jumping in the house and a rust eating solvent? Ideas?

That looks bad. I would try heat and penetrating oil.

Jack up the house and jump down on the wheel. Maybe going the other way will break it loose?

Center punch, drill, tap, install grease zerk

^ how, where. Sorry I'm 150 miles away from him and trying to help him solve it over the phone

More heat and a 6' pry bar. You will never get it to take grease if its rusted solid. If you get it moving then you can worry about the grease.

I don't think your friend has much of a prayer with that without some jacks and lube. That looks like it was just pulled out of the grove, he took a trip with that?
