    Pilot Screw O-Rings

    Been trying for an hour to get the Pilot Screw O-Rings out using a paper clip with a little hook at the end. Can't get those little buggers out!
    Anybody have luck with an alternate method?

    I use an old Acet/Oxy tip cleaner (basically gauged, ribbed wire) with a 90 deg angle bent on the end about a 1/4" from the tip. Works good. Actually they end up getting flung out and I have to watch for em if I planned on reusing them at all. Maybe just try walking away for a bit and come back to them in a little bit with a fresh mind? Seems to help me when I am getting frustrated.

      Maybe make the leg of the hook shorter? Idea is to get the hook down inside the O-ring and spring and pull it out. Maybe you need a thinner diameter wire? It ain't rocket science ya know.
