Lower rod is stuck...dynamite?

[Kieth-Tx]

The lower rod on my elite is stuck...I had slid the rod in about a week ago...now it won't budge. The knob does turn and seems to loosen. Any help would be appreciated. Kieth-Tx

Try some WD-40 thru the first hole, nearest the twist knob. Hold it up in air and let the WD-40 work it's way down the shaft and then twist it back and forth. Wipe it clean after you get it out.

Use a piece of rubber in between the vice grip and the shaft,to keep the teeth from tearing up the Shaft!
