No help...get the vice and action block.

I know it sucks, but you dont want it coming off.  Be smart, do it the right way once.

What part of NC are you located in? If you're anywhere near Mount Airy, I have the tools and would be happy to help for no charge. Don't get in a hurry and risk marring something!
