I can't get the things out. One side went so easily and quickly. The other side are practically welded in there. I've tried needle nose pliers, pick, small screw drivers, fish hook... I've tried tapping all these with a hammer at an angle and still nothing. They won't budge. I even tried tapping them with a flathead to cut and slice the gasket, still didn't work.
What do I do? I've spent over an hour and I don't know what else to do... Forget it and put the new gaskets right over the old? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-2-1096003708.jpg) Good idea! Is that a flathead or a poker-type thing? So you just stick it up in there and push it as hard as you can inbetween the gasket and the head? |
