Hi
Terry:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Since the rubber is =
so
petrified, could they be removed with diagonal side cutters or flush
cutters we use for brass pins? If there is still residue on =
the
threads, running a die down and up over them might be the fastest =
way.
Good Luck, let us know how it goes....</FONT></DIV>
