<< List , I would like to get some different ideas on damper head removal.
 
 I pull as much of the old dampers off as will come off & what ever
 doesn't come off I soak with vinegar. This works ok but is quite messy &
 tends to get on other parts of the action. I'm looking for a less messy
 method of removal.
 
 Thanks for any input,

I presume you are talking aobut vertical dampers. I would recommend you remove
the dampers from the action. Then use your vineger to remove the damper felts
from the heads.
