RS-4 truss rod question

[robwms]

Any tips on freeing up a stuck truss rod spoke wheel? Absolutely won't move in either direction. RS-4 made in April 2009.
Thanks!

You can try a drop of 3in1 oil  only if can get close to the wheel nearest the body.Only try loosening the wheel.I've use this on some Musicman guitars that had the wheel.

Good to hear from you Rob. I get nervous when you don't post for a while. Hope you're doing ok.

Thanks for weighing in Rob (great name by the way).

After 3 days of gentle persuasion, I overcame my fear of breaking something and gave the allen wrench a manly tug  in one direction and then the other. Back and forth a few times, increasing the pressure each time. Something finally clicked and grudgingly, the wheel started to move. One leftward turn was all it took to stop the buzzing.

This guitar tech stuff is pretty easy
