Never tripped over one of those before... sunova gun. That means every 9k I've had has been on 'replacement' BJ's then, makes sense, as none were new.
Shouldn't need to resort to a Pickle Fork on 9000 lower BJ's?? If faced with a recalcitrant one, I just spread the shaft holding split casting apart with a wee flat chisel and ballpeen, it only takes a few thousands movement and the thing just pulls out by finger pull.
