Extracting glued bridge pins

[Joe And Penny Goss]

Hi Terry,
The best for me is the small vice grips made by Sears.
The ones with layered jaws.
You just take out the adjusting bolt and replace it with a bolt as long as
you  want ( ready bolt can be used ) a little grinding of the new bolt may
be needed to match the old one. and some type of slide weight.
