Finally got that stuck governor in the old bank building to release after three days of trying.

We were about to call for a full replacement, but a bit of heat and a gentle tap with the brass hammer did the trick. Has anyone else had luck with that method on a really old Otis unit?

Wait, you used heat on an old Otis governor? That sounds risky.

Reminds me of the time we freed a seized pulley with some penetrating oil.
