[Repeater-Builder] STUCK CORES

[JOHN B. KRUK]

As mentioned, for stuck cores, I usually find an allen wrench that fits 
and try it.  A shot of silicone or teflon spray lubricant down in the 
coil, with some heat sometimes helps.  I have found, that if it is 
stuck, it is "stuck" and the only other option may be to put a very 
small "dab" of super glue on the allen wrench and insert it into the 
core, when it dries, unscrew the core and replace it with a new core.  
If you put just a bit of silicone grease on the allen wrench before you 
put on the super glue, you may be able to slip the core off of the allen 
wrench when you get it out - otherwise the core is shot.
