A little help please. I changed out the wire/rope main halyard on my "76 E29 a couple of years ago for 1/2 in StaSet. The halyard has never really free-wheeled through the sheaves and now it's all I can do to get it to move 5 feet. I have to admit it has seen little use since install.
Could it be I should have gone with smaller line and the 1/2 in has filled with dirt from the neighboring alfalfa fields or are the odds greater I'm looking at sheave failure? If it is time to change out the sheaves, is it something I can do from my bosuns chair?
Any information from one experienced in this change out or a diagram and where best to source parts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
