They are dimpled in place and when you remove the dimple the core plug comes out and you just reinstall the core plug and dimple it back in. I also have never worked on one that is seized. The angle drives I have rebuilt only needed to have the internal flexible cable replaced. I have used an old speedo cable and shape the ends to fit with a grinder.</span></p><p class="yiv4688666468MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><div class="yiv4688666468yqt1135280992" id="yiv4688666468yqt09191"><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in;"><p class="yiv4688666468MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;"> Healeys [mailto:healeys-bounces@autox.team.net] <b>On Behalf Of </b>David Lodge via Healeys<br clear="none"><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, August 25, 2020 9:12 PM<br clear="none"><b>To:</b> Austin Healey <healeys@autox.team.net><br clear="none"><b>Cc:</b> David Lodge <emmgeeteecee@yahoo.co.uk><br clear="none"><b>Subject:</b> [Healeys] Speedo angle drive, BJ8.</span></p></div></div><p class="yiv4688666468MsoNormal"> </p><div><div><p class="yiv4688666468MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;">It's completely seized and three weeks completely submerged in penetrating oil has had not one whit of effect so I'm going to take it apart.
