Remove it

[Tweed]

Guys I forked up the nut on one of my necks. Gonna just replace it, but I can't seem to remove it easily. Tried hammer-tap poking it out from each side, tried pliers but that's just tearing at it.  I guess W use a strong glue which actually a reason to like them.

I used a small clamp like this.    I placed it on an angle with one end on the tip of the nut and the other tip on the neck.  It will give enough pressure to break seal.

It's probably not a strong glue as much as it's a tight fit. Warmoth's tolerances are always close. I don't know what Warmoth uses for glue in that instance, but short of epoxy nothing really holds wood and plastic together very firmly, and I know they didn't use epoxy. Mr. Raco's solution should work.

Saw it down the middle and then tap it.
