[s-cars] Need tool

[Tom Green]

John,
Thats the tool.  Some of the listers are a little quick on the trigger
with old solutions.  The tools are available at Circuit City and other
audio stores.  (right beside the Bazookas and Honda exhaust cans, strut
braces, and neon lighting).  I guess if you are in the "resale"
business, you don't want them damaged:-)
