Title: Re: [VAC] Re: Rectangle vents and window operators

Hi Cruiser Bob,
We looked for you at the Real Wally Rally and it looks like you were unable to attend. Too bad. We had a great time and I only worked on three trailers while there. I had two stuck LeDeau lifters myself and was able to get them both unfrozen. I used a penetrating oil and just kept working at them. I'd spray the penetrating oil on and let it sit for over an hour. Then I would put the top part of the lifter in my vice and try to turn the fat part by hand. Both of them eventually came loose with this method. If this doesn't work for you, send them to me and I will try to unfreeze them. Let me know. A vintage Airstream MUST have matching vent lifters.
