Did one of you say "6' pry bar' ? Now that's the type of thinking I like. According to the esteemed annuls of advanced reenactor and military field repair logic, you treat such matters as follows: STEP ONE Force it , it will either turn, or break. STEP TWO: If it breaks, replace it....

Yep, I said 6' pry bar. I'm getting old enough that I don't have anything to prove now. I like being able to perform such task without over excerting the old bones. Any task such as this requires the use of common sense just the same as the proper tool for the job. No breakage will occur if using good sense along with correct tooling.

Peter: I got the same message earlier and posted 3 times. I went to "edit" and there is a "delete X" to the right. I just clicked on that and when it asked, just deleted my post.

Truth is Lifer, I only made E4 when I was in the 82 ABN, but as a reenactor, I am now an E8....( and in another "european" reenactor group, I made ROTTENFUHRER... Playing soldier does have its benefits...
