Knuckle installation

[Avery Todd]

Hi David,

I'm not sure which pliers you're referring to (huge toil clippers?) but 
this is
one I bought from Schaff app. 25-30 yrs. ago. They work great. Actually, they
look like a pair of slip-joint pliers that have been modified to fit around 
the
knuckle so one can grasp it and "rock" it out. I used a little bit of heat 
from
my heat gun and they came right out with very little "tugging".

Hopefully this won't happen since the knuckles are from Wally! :-)
