Removing Oil Fittings

Put new ones in, they are $1.39 at McMaster, page 2108

Pressed in. Unless you can get to the back side, just do as Tom suggested and buy new ones.

If you want to remove them, a very sharp knife or wood chisel can sometimes be carefully tapped under the edge to get them started. Then a screwdriver or pair of cutters can be gotten under to finish the job.

Good stout Icepick. Then replace em with new ones.

Why remove fittings in the old part at all?

According to Tom Gardner :

He asked how to do it. :-)

He did not explicitly ask whether it was the wise thing to do. :-)

Others have already told him where to get new ones which are quite inexpensive.

Enjoy, DoN.

Max wanted to reuse the fittings, the ice pick routine might prevent that...ya' think? I was just poking fun at Gunner...'cuz I COULD! It's a rare opportunity.
