Gents, any ideas for freeing up some neglected Top Gun outriggers? I've been soaking them with every kind of lube and managed to get them to go up and down, but I can't free them up to turn. I'm afraid if I put I pipe wrench on them they'll snap.

I had the same problem with mine. I tried everything to loosen them up but nothing worked. I finally had to cut the pin and disassemble them. I called rupp and they do have parts available. Stinks that you have to ruin them to get them out but the new clamp assys are like 70 bucks. I think the pin I cut is only about 10-15. Good luck!
