I drilled one out with the hollow/reverse drill bit, that is used to extract screws. This leaves a 1/4" hole, which can be filled with a dowel/glue. However, I don't like the idea of re-drilling the pilot holes, for the new wires, into end grain. I can drill a 7/32" hole across the wippen plug, so that it would be in line with the new pilot hole and that would give a more stable cross grain to drill/thread into.That is a lot of drilling and plugging! Anyone have a better way to extract the olde wire stub, w/o all this hassle?!!!??? Best Regards, Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
