I have this wico joystick on a control panel that is stuck there and I can't remove it. The metal part of the grommet is rusted solid onto the shaft. I've tried squirting wd40 in there, pounding it with a hammer and flathead screwdriver, but that f'er is not budging.
Looks like I am going to have to sacrifice the base, or the shaft, to get it out of there.
Any ideas what I can try to get that metal part of the grommet off? The grommet is already destroyed, the rubber was totally broken. The outer part of the grommet is already off. Just need to get the inner metal piece off.
