Message	go get one of computer air duster cans, invert the can and spray the crap outta the plug after you have heated everything up. What your wanting is the alum. case to stay expanded while you shrink the plug. Careful not to get it too hot, heat it slowly and constantly moving. Another thing I've used is heating everything up and spraying oil on it. The heat helps the oil wick, and as the air trapped in the threads cools, it actually pulls the oil in. Naturally not so hot that the oil catches fire instantly. _____________Sig_____________ Moving to Cali!
