Hi Joe. I believe this bridle wire is screwed in. I tried to unscrew two wires on old wippens and they broke off. Haven't yet tried to pull out using a vice grip and a slotted board that has a saw curf in it that I've used to pull out back check wires, successfully. Will order new wires and then drill new hole and insert new wire. Thanks Joe, much appreciate the response.
