Let me re-phrase my question ... How do folks remove the Heyco Clamp without damaging it ? I tried Gas Pliers, but they do leave marks on the clamp and the Heyco tool is rather rare and expensive. I wouldn't be so nit-picking if the 75A-4 was mine, but it belongs to a friend and I want to keep it looking nice. 73, Dick, W1KSZ
