I got a used Motor Guide Brute.. Where the SS (?) chromed shaft goes
through the aluminum clamp, it is firmly in there. I cannot get it to
twist. (Yes, yeah, I did loosen the nuts.) I put some sewing machine oil
on there and left it to flow vertically. Is PB Blaster better? Should I
put a pipe wrench on it? Waiting for it to move on its own rather than
brutalizing it. IT doesn't appear, even with dissimilar metals that there
is any galling, and this is a freshwater application.

I would be surprised if that shaft was Stainless Steel.

Please do not split hairs. I was just trying to describe it. I am a welder
of going on forty years now. I KNOW it's not stainless. I am
ABSOLUTELYFREAKINGLUTELY POSITIVE, though, that the clamp is aluminum.

Relax, man. You'll live longer.
