	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.
