Trying to disassemble my joystick for my punch out and am having a heck of a time removing the stick part from the plate, is there a secret to this or just pure force is needed because the parts are corroded together?
 
I have sprayed wd40 and am still having no luck. Is the stick part just suppose to slide out of the plate or am I missing something. I don't think it should be this hard to take the joystick apart.
 
I had one that was that hard to take out. The cylinder thing near the eclip wouldn't come off. I had to soak it in brake cleaner or something for like a week. Finally, came loose after I let it sit a knocked it a bit. Cleaned up and works well after that.

You need something stronger then wd40 and you need to let it sit for a while.
 
I had a the same problem when taking apart a pacman joystick. In the end I had to use wd 40 And brute force. I couldn't beleive how stuck it was, keep working at it yor having fun restoring right? LoL
