What is the trick for preventing the table support post and the short post that allows the table to support the filler cushion from getting stuck? The problem is most prevalent with the short post that supports the table at the lowest height to support the filler cushion. It always gets stuck in the engine cover receptacle. To remove it, I need to unbolt it from the engine cover, put the "assembly" in the freezer for a half hour, then heat the receptacle with a heat gun and tap it off.
I've split the bushings which prevents it from getting stuck in the table but it still gets stuck in the lower receptacle. I'm going to try spraying the plastic bushings with silicone spray next.
I'm interested in how others have solved this issue. Thanks.
