Anyone has dimensions on the sheaves? Did replacing them make a big difference? Mine spin freely if lubricated, but my boat was made in 1983 so who knows the condition. Can be difficult to get the main up but there can be other causes ... Also, there is a dedicated tool one can buy to extract roll pins (actually I believe they are called coiled springs) that isn't very expensive -- but does anyone know the size to use?
