Hi. Thanks for answering my question about wrench size. I have another one. I can't get the truss rod to budge. Is there something I can do to loosen to loosen it up and adjust the truss rod?

Thanks.

I had a frozen truss rod once, and was unable to move it, so I sold it. My only suggestion (in hindsight) would be to try and loosen it, rather than tighten it, as that may free it up. WD40 couldn't hurt, as Al suggested.

Liquid Wrench has worked better than WD40 for me as a penetrating oil
