how do I loosen a stuck shaft to replace washers? - 2006/08/14 11:03 Hi,

I've been using my atomic for years and I recently tried to refurbish it. I've got some replacement washers for the shaft (which leads to the steam spout), but the shaft itself seems stuck in place. I can remove the pressure nob and the metal washers, but can't seem to get the shaft to move beyond a few twists. I've tried WD-40 to unstick it but to no avail. Brute force doesn't seem to work either - though I'm loath to push it too far. So at present I have an atomic with disintegrating washers, and a shaft that is part way out but jammed solid - basically unusable - a potential tragedy. Any ideas please?
