I use ATF hydraulic fluid

That's what i used on the allweld's jack plate as well.

If its red it's ATF. If it's clear then you can prolly use reg hydraulic fluid or brake fluid like Mike said.

I just found my CMC manual and it says to use #2216 Mystic or SAE 20 or 30 non-detergent oil or tilt and trim fluid.

This is for my new CMC high speed lift.

Try some Break Free gun lube stuff and a dash of Pixie Dust. You may have to heat up the screw. If you have a welding machine try tacking the allen wrench to the screw. Let it cool a bit and see if it will come out that way. If not bring it over and we will get it out or throw it in the trashcan. Make sure your turning it the right way. righty tight lefty loosy just saying.
