- You will need TWO tools for the job, listed
- in order of importance:
-
- 1. Patience
- 2. A wide, flat-blade screwdriver, or one of
- the slot cover blanks that resides
- behind a free slot (if they are thick
- enough to withstand the torque).
-
- Work very slowly. Try to be even, so you don't
- bend pins. Bending pins is not s real big deal
- (unless they break) but they make re-installation
- a real pain; straightening is not fun.
-
- Good Luck. They're in there real tight.
