[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 3191506, member: 13624"] Yes, and also the drum, both on the face and radially inward on the sides. No luck. I know the pins of which you speak; the MGB has them, but I don't see them in the diagram for the A. And if I go to cutting, I hadn't considered a die grinder (I don't have one, but that's easy to solve), but I had planned to use a cutoff wheel on an angle grinder rather than a torch. Cut where I can, score where I can't, and use a hardened chisel to do the final break. Also, I learned about a really neat tool yesterday: an impact driver. Not a power tool, just a tube about an inch in diameter and four inches long with a half-inch drive on the front end set up so that when you hit the back end with a hammer (we used a sledgehammer), it both forces the tool in and drives it to turn (selectable direction). Put the right hex socket (included) on the half-inch drive and the right screwdriver bit (also included) in the socket, and it pulled some screws we thought we'd never get out, particularly given that the heads were already damaged. You can put any other impact-rated socket on it and have an impact wrench, too. About $12 at Steve's Wholesale Tools for the nice, all-metal version (the Harbor Freight version gets lousy reviews).
