ramps Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 It should just drop out the bottom of the forks with a lot of hitting and banging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat hudson Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 It should just drop out the bottom of the forks with a lot of hitting and banging. unless you have echo forks. they seam to have a sphincter at the bottom. this could hinder nut removal.
