Hmmmm... I see in your picture Vise Grips, a caulk gun, and a wood chisel in your arsenal of tools. Were these recommended by the previous owner as the set of special tools for this model? :woohoo: :whistle:

Take it from me cuz I found
If you leave it then somebody else is bound,
To find that treasure, that moment of pleasure,
When yours, it could have been.
