Question:

Scaffolding stuck, need ideas for removing.?

When putting up old scaffolding, a mistake was made and it had to come down.Long story short, the connectors between the vertical and horizontal poles (which were hammered in) are stuck.Any ideas for getting them out?Thanks.

Answer:

WD 40, angle grind off what you can.
Heat the female connection with a torch. The outer connection will expand from the heat. Heat the connection hot enough not to touch but not cherry red. Put a pipe wrench on male side of tubing where its is cool and tap wrench with a hammer and it will come apart. If possible lay the scaffold on its size for better leverage.
