[6pack] Need Advice - Removing Window Frame

[Larry Young]

We had similar problems with our TR250.  I can't remember what all we 
did, but we just kept working at it.  We got one side free, but the 
other was rusted to the bracket.  By the time we got that one out, the 
bracket was destroyed.  Not quite as easy as the book implies.
