Skip- I've also had the same problem. To get the spool off I took the release mechanism apart and gave the end of the spindle a tap with the butt of a screwdriver while pulling the spool off. The corrosion is most likely in the one way bearing where it contacs the shaft. I put a very small amount of sewing machine oil on this bearing and haven't had any trouble since-almost a year. Just watch the small spring under the spool release lever!. Ron
