Hi Bust. Just tap it out with a brass drift or a pull through weight. Just be sure to secure the
foresight block in position or it is more than possible that the drifting force may either bend the
securing cross pin or position the block off centre as more likely at a cant.. If that does happen
as by mentor used to say just use a shrewd blow to position it back correctly. It is very important
that the block is perpendicular to the action. We used to check that by placing a bar across the
know form and then another bar across the top of the block or the foresight and use our eyesight
to match up parallel. I guess you can tell I'm an old guy. JOHN
