Hey, if it works it's fine. The right metric Allen wrench *ought* to work. Mine were put on by muscule-bound black forest gnomes in a "who can torque this the most and not snap the head off" contest and then allowed to sit and corrode for 12 years. At least that's the only teory I can come up with that explains my travails. > If you do try > the allen wrench, make sure it fits tight...and give up and go get > Berry's 12-point, gold filled Snap-On right BEFORE the head strips Good advice. NO flames from *me*. But be sure NOT to strip things. No fun at all. --berry Berry Kercheval :: kerch@parc.xerox.com :: Xerox Palo Alto Research Center
