[QUOTE=Eddie Southgate;4160864]Pavia ,
It would take a whole 5 minutes to do as bedbugbully suggested and remove it the correct way . Pad your vise jaws , take a crescent wrench and remove your breech plug , then take a hickory rod and drive the Minnie out the way it came . When you put the plug back in make sure you rub a little grease or use some sort of anti seize on the threads and be sure the top of the plug and top of the barrel are matched up . It is really simple to do .
You other guys : Yall are nuts . 5 minutes with a vise and a wrench to fix the problem the correct way and yall advise oil and pumps or special made nipples and air tanks or hand filing special key hole saws ! How bout sharing some of whatever yall are smoking with the rest of us .
Eddie, NOT ALL OF US HAVE ACCESS TO A FULL BLOWN MACHINE SHOP WITH FANCY TOOLS THAT WOULD MAKE A NASCAR PIT CREW JEALOUS. LIGHTEN UP.
