I work with what woodcraft call the screwcap (think it is called the american screwcap) and some of them do not make it out of the shop as is the case of my last one. I was using a titanium kit so would like to recover the parts. The problem is that the centerband is pushed on over the TOP of the brass tube (you need to cut a tenon down to the brass) and not inside the tube as with most parts.
It is therefore impossible to push the centerband out. What I am thinking is taking a spare mating part of the CB and glue it to a tube. I am then thinking about drilling holes into both the tube and the part holding the CB. Run wire through both holes then use a vice to try and pull the CB off.
Anyone come up with a better idea for recovering screwcap parts?
