Someone probably spill something salty and cause the shaft or bore to
corrode and seized together. Better not force it. WAD might do the trick
but be careful if you do decide to dissect it.

Subject: Stove knobs won't turn

I have a 82 Westy and one of my stove knobs won't turn, I have taken off
the knob and tried to turn it with pliers but it won't move at all.  Any
idea what the problem might be?

Thanks

Gary
