     My genoa furler has reached the point that I think I need to disassemble it and possibly install new bearings, if cleaning
the old ones does not solve the problem of it not turning as smooth as it should.
     After reading some previous posts and looking at the Schaefer manual I wanted to get some input from people who have already done this before trying it myself.
     1)  Is this a 1 or 2 person job?
     2)  It sounds like removing the stainless screws from the aluminum is not easy, any suggestions on loosening them, WD40, Liquid Wrench the day before or what is recommended?
     3)  How did you support the mast using other halyards?
     Any tips, or if anyone knows of a web site that shows it being done  would be  appreciated. 

Regards,
