>If I were replacing the soundboard, then the >bridge would get recapped automatically. It would? Man, I must be doing something wrong. I've always had to recap them myself. How does that work? Do you leave it on the bench over night with a bowl of milk? In any case, with the pin at the edge of the notch, you should have enough to grab with the small vice-grips. Heat them like Roger suggested, only don't wait for them to cool. While they're still good and hot, grab them one at a time with the vise-grip and pull 'em out. If that doesn't work, chisel. No easy fix, nothing you didn't already know. Ron N
