Removing Let-Off Buttons

[Avery Todd]

   Thanks for the push, Conrad. I went ahead and tried it and straightened
it out enough that there was only a "very" slight wobble. The tool is
loose enough on the screws that it worked fine. The little wobble was the
tool shank and the drill, not the let-off screw! About 10 minutes later
and all the old buttons are now off!
   Now if I only had 3 hands, I might be able to put the new ones on the
same way. Oh well, can't have everything. :-)
   Thanks again.

Avery
