Had the "Tak adapter seizure" on the first light of my (now gone) FSQ-85. Wouldn't come to focus with the extension I had, so went to unscrew it from the CAA.

Nope.

Twisted and contorted and wrenched my hands.

Nope.

Went in a rush to Bunnings JUST before they closed and got another small rubber strapwrench.

NOPE.

leave it till morning.

Woke up, grabbed it, and instantly it twisted off.

Insert Tasmanian Devil whirl and words here.

Lesson learned - ALWAYS grease Tak threads. ALWAYS.
