I realized I have several 2'x4' plastic tables from Sam's which we use in the shop and for our booth at fly-ins. They are adjustable for height from 24" to 36" so they make nice work tables. Three of them nicely support the wing. After rem0ving the clecos I gently worked the spar loose. With a stool as a support at the root end the spar came off easily.
There was a little corrosion hidden at the area around the tank bay which was where the corrosion problem was. This wing spent to much time parked on its nose. Who knows, a critter may have nested in there at one time while it was stored. It all cleaned up easily from the surface of the ribs, etc. It shows the protection difference of the clad aluminum used for the ribs and the bare extruded spars. I'll treat and prime the cleaned areas so they'll last and hope all the holes match up with the other spar.
