Yes, I was using a Cobalt drill. Guy said they are very hard. Is
there any thing harder for a drill that I could try or is that about it.
They wont even dent the EX-OUT.
I forgot about the welding trick. Kind of tricky with the lock
mechinism there though. I may try that though.

Yea, I think if worse comes to worse, I'll just grab one from a
junk yard if I ruin it with a cuttign torch trying to get it out. Thanks
for the welding Idea. I'll try that first, then cutting it out.
