Good stuff. I deleted the part about how to get to the site. Who knows, they don't like to be a platform for a competitor, not that I think they'd search every post.

I've heard of the trouble in getting reamers out. I don't have any Kroll, I have some PB Blaster. Probably wouldn't hurt to spray some on now. I'd hate to need to spring for one of the extractor kits now. IIRC I've read of home made reaming tools.

But yes, I think I'll be getting his reamer and the wrench that goes with it.
