It self threads its way (counter clockwise) onto the broken pin (assuming there is enough left) and when its tight you just keep turning out. If this doesnt work... then you are in for lots of fun. Dont try an easy out tool... hopelessly wrong tool for the job. -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F. Bergen, Norway mailto:rbrekne@broadpark.no http://home.broadpark.no/~rbrekne/ricmain.html
