ORIGINAL: Hydro Junkie

He said he epoxied a shaft into the aileron. If it's a torque rod that gets threaded into the wing, replace it with the aileron rather than ruining the shaft trying to get it loose.
"Threaded" into the wing? Do you know how this plane is built?

Actually ho2zoo had the best idea for removing the aileron if that is decided upon as the way to go.
Just (carefully) cut the thing off. Probably end up with the torque rod with a clump of epoxy on it. This can also be carefully removed until it looks like new.
