I've been suffering similar problems to Para although in my case the predominant symptom is extreme tightness when furling away. The problem is the drum of the four year old Facnor LS-200 furler. Researching the internet it appears that the cheap bearings or clips internally just get destroyed. So here's part I of taking care of this big item on our todo list! Facnor Ls 200 Part I On Stressless. After four years of prior service our Facnor LS-200 rolling furler has deteriorated to a point where the drum is stiff. The Drum is so stiff it's unsafe to use and needs. I have strong suspicions that the problem lies with a bearing either at the top of the foil or within it and I was planning on dismantling the set-up at the weekend. The boat is currently out of the water so going up the mast is a no no, however looking at the assembly instructions (found on the web) it looks like I should be able to detach the forestay at deck level and drop the furling gear from the bottom.

Any tips or warnings? Its a Facnor SD furling system. Not sure, if mine is an SD. Anyway, it's the one with the non removable drum. But that doesn't matter, since the drum didn't cause me any problem. Source of my problem was the attachment of the forestay. Mine was attached at the bow with a turnbuckle and swaged terminal. Now, the aluminium profile with the internal plastic bushings (or whatever this things are called) and the pieces that connect the profile elements didn't slide over the swage terminal. Saravanan meenachi tamil serial dailymonation. The terminal was just to big. One solution would have been to cut the terminal off. But that would have damaged the forestay. Other solution was to disconnect the aluminium profile elements and try to push this plastic things out of the profile. To do this you have to unscrew a couple of stainless screws. Stainless and aluminium = not good. After three or so years a couple of those screws were perfectly welded to the aluminium. And since the screws seem to be made of cheap material in no time the heads were damaged with the screw driver. So I had to drill them out. By doing so of course some metal pieces fell into the profile (no idea how to prevent this) which later on prevented to push out those plastic bushings out of the profile. They just stuck somewhere. So at two occasions I couldn't do anything else but taking a saw and destroy two profile elements.
