    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Been trying for an hour to get the Pilot Screw O-Rings out using a paper clip with a little hook at the end. Can't get those little buggers out!
Anybody have luck with an alternate method?
 
I use an old Acet/Oxy tip cleaner (basically gauged, ribbed wire) with a 90 deg angle bent on the end about a 1/4" from the tip. Works good. Actually they end up getting flung out and I have to watch for em if I planned on reusing them at all. Maybe just try walking away for a bit and come back to them in a little bit with a fresh mind? Seems to help me when I am getting frustrated.
 
Maybe make the leg of the hook shorter? Idea is to get the hook down inside the O-ring and spring and pull it out. Maybe you need a thinner diameter wire? It ain't rocket science ya know.
