S34 Cockpit Table

[Ship's Puss]

Anyone able to help please?
One of the legs of the table appears to have melded with the metal shoe that it's inserted into in the floor. The other one comes out fine.
We've tried WD40, brute force, and gentle persuasion. All to no avail.
Any suggestions?
Cheers

Hot water or Plus gas and vinegar will help remove the oxide layers which are causing it to "stick".

if the above doesn't work, surround the fitting with a ring of play-doh or blue tack or similar to protact the deck, and spray the joint with loads of car wheel cleaner (brake dust remover) and leave it to soak, if that doesn't work soak it in original coca-cola - its full of phosphoric acid.

Olive oil or fairy liquid...
