Main Swivel hoist car shackle removal

Post by EstrelladelMar »

Hi, just bought new main and having trouble getting luff tension up. Previous owner had long shackle between main halyard and swivel car. Specs state halyard should be attached directly to upper shackle of the car. But despite removing the "anti swivel" shackle screw, can't get the shackle loose. Anyone figured this out and know how to remove it?

Cheers
