I got my ladder out with no problem, but the handrail over the step is super stuck......like its welded in. The bolts that hold the slide thing on it have dropped, so they aren't the problem. Any suggestions to get this out???
It has two posts on the hand rail. Spinning is not an option. You're right.....it will come out eventually.....LOL, one way or the other!!!!
The bottom of that rail is not sealed so the above idea won't work on several levels.
Most of all, it is very unsafe and should be disregarded.
Usually it is sand or grit that gets wedged in there. Do you have a pressure washer that you can use. A high pressure washout of that socket may be all it needs to release your handrail.
