My thanks to all "Listers" who responded to my
request for help! A number of good
ideas/recommendations, which I've already started on
some of... (weirdly enough, I'm starting to look at
an improvised 'puller' using a 1/8th" NPT tap to
provide threads in the three existing screw
recesses).
I'll post my means of 'success' - if I do succeed
:-).
Thanks, again,
Dave
