I protect the rail (with a piece of aluminum stock or wood),  grab the =
pin with the dykes and then use a pair of large O-ring type pliers (they =
open when you squeeze) to pry the pins out. Very quick but can get sore =
in the hands! =20

  Yep, exactly! Using the dikes, with small increments of pry (you could =
yank a pin=20
  out with one pry, but it would create a larger arc), you really don't =
enlarge the=20
  hole enough to notice. I looked at that new tool and figured I could =
do without it.=20
  Of course, if you've got to have the latest . . . I do think dikes and =
a fulcrum is=20
  easier and faster and less problematic than vice grips and hammer, =
too.
  Merry Christmas! I'm out of the U till January.
