    I have to say my favorite is firing a projectile or going at it with a hammer . . .
    I may have to stop by the hardware store and price out a sledge hammer . . .

    Be sure to wear eye protection, no matter how you choose to do it in.

    You know it may just win and injure you if you go at it that way. I still say shoot it from a distance.

    "If it doesn't fit, try using a hammer. If it still won't work, don't force it... you need to get a bigger hammer." -Bob (funny old guy I work with)

    It may be just the way I'm looking at it, but it looks like the bypass hose nipple doesn't line up right to the port in the manifold! Anyway, it's a done deal now so I will suggest a 30-06 at 100yds or so! I get great enjoyment recycling stubborn parts this way!:)

    Keep it on the wall of shame as a stark reminder of what you did, it was doomed from the start, it kicked you a**, keep it there, to keep you from letting ANYTHING like that happen again on other stuff you do, it will always make you think before you act, and that, could save you money in the future.:D
