Removal of glue, from jack spring hole

[John Ross]

Hi Greg,
It ended up, that it was only a few, that the reamer, would not work on.
The problem was the glue, was above the hole, and the reamer, could not get
started.
I ended up, just using a piece of coat hanger, with a 90 bend, and heating
it to redistribute the glue, then used the reamer.
I hadn't wanted to heat the reamer, for fear of it losing it's temper. I had
one before, that had no temper, and just wore away, in a short time. I had
modified the end, to accept the combination handle, as I used to get
blisters on my fingers.
I think, I might modify, this one to fit a power screw driver.
I do not like, that thermal glue, for the jack springs, or the hammer heads
and butts. Give me the hide glue, every time.
Don;t the manufacturers, realize, that they have to be removed at some time
in the future, for repair?
I just realized, my Outlook Express 6, doesn't give me the option, of
wrapping. Or if it does, I can't find it. I used to wrap at 70. Can anyone
help me find the option that allows me to wrap?
Best regards,
