Cannot separate

[GoldCrown]

It’s a CueTec break cue. It has been on a rack not used for a while. I tried twisting with another person holding. Tried 2 strap wrenches .. they won’t grip. Dropped it gently
to possibly vibrate the joint loose. Help!

Had that problem one time. Rolled a wet towel around the shaft near the joint. Clamped the shaft in a vice. Two of us turning the butt were able to unscrew it. No damage to the shaft. Good luck!

Turn it upside down, use the least amount of penetrating oil you can, let it sit for fifteen minutes and it should come apart.

Is WD40 acceptable. Have BreakFree and Tri-Flo.

Yes, just wipe it off as best you can when you're done.
