Riff ,
No I didn't mis-read your post. Option B is the "easy" way to do it. I tend to seek the most abusive, arduous and frustrating path. Pulling those pins would have been too easy and then I would have had all that free time when I could have been pulling my hair out and screaming at the damn bolt! Besides, I wanted those brackets out of there. Now if only I can find a oriental rug and hookah for my new den of iniquity....
