Extracting glued bridge pins

[Farrell]

Yes, I do. I like it. And yes, I would agree with the "slight adjustment"
characterization. I usually use the iron on new bushings that are set up
properly in the first place with just a tad of friction. Then you iron them,
getting the friction near zero, but not inducing any slop. Can get things
super even that way.
