JDs method of removing the cap whole is pretty nice and fairly simple. You can see from the photos attached I have removed the bass cap and am in the process of starting the long bridge. The bass cap took about 15 minutes. Getting the cap off in one piece after premeasuring the bearing and calculating any necessary changes certainly makes it a lot easier to pre shape and set the proper thickness of the new caps before gluing them on. Thanks JD for the suggestion. Learn something new everyday (hopefully). Thanks all for the router skid suggestions as well. There is certainly an appropriate use for that procedure as well.
