    Taper Lock Pedestals

    Anyone have any suggestions on making it easier to remove taper lock seats? They sure do get really stuck in the base. Has anyone tried a dry lubricant? I was also thinking of using very light grade sandpaper on the bushings. I guess they swell over time with water and debris. I have one...
