Jay,
 
Here are a few photos of my mast when it was down and being worked on and then back up.  In the one you can see the painted mast with the cover plates removed and in the other with the plate in place.  this should help with giving some perspective to what Tom talked about trying to do it from the top of the mast.   Our masts were manufactured by lefeill http://www.lefiell.com/2marine_main.html  This link goes to the mast and mast head page, I believe our mast is p/n OM4C with a cut length of 55'  Im sure they could probably give you a schematic of the proper mast head so that you could get another perspective of how the sheaves and pins fit together inside.

Good Morning All,

First, thanks for your help with the salon shelf storage options.  First
mate Dorothy is very happy with the lined baskets on the top shelves and
the extra rail on the bottom. 

Now for the next question trying to save a trip up the mast.  Can anyone
tell me if sheeve box needs to be removed from the masthead to replace
the sheeves?  Or is there a pin that goes all the way through the mast.
Ours is a 1985 model. 

I'm going to 7/16" Sta-Set X halyards and want to remove the combination
sheeves as I'm concerned about the semi-circle indent on the current
version.  7/16" line seems to run smoothly, but I'm not sure about wear.
New sheeves should be cheap insurance.

Thanks!
