If you can get a pair of Vice-Grips to grip this minimal surface, go for it. I prefer to cut a slot across the head with a small, thin abrasive wheel (1 - 2 inches on the diameter) then back them out with a fair sized straight bladed screwdriver. This way, if you are really cheap or lazy, you can even use them again. Rich |
