[AT] Removing clips

[jdnut at aol.com]

On a somewhat similar vein, wondering if one could put enough of a bead on the clip using a fine wire wire feed welder to put enough of an edge to help push the ring out a bit to get behind it.

When all else fails...  :-)  I only recall doing this once... I once removed such a ring by cutting it in half. I used a very small acetylene torch tip (welding tip, not cutting) and using an oxidizing flame got it down to a very tiny hot flame and by working carefully and quickly I was able to cut the clip ring in half without any damage to the groove the clip fit into. The clip heated much more quickly than the bigger part with the groove where the clip was seated.It's been a long week, I hope I'm making sense...  :-)
