    Any suggestions for removing a "stuck" firing pin bushing- a friend has a 12 gauge 3E grade mfg. 1909- needs to replace a short firing pin-the brass retainer screw came out- but the bushing is "stuck" in place- we have tried Kroil and some break-free- and have reground a Grace screw driver to relieve the center section to clear the protruding (slightly)firing pin- No luck- any tips or suggestions as to how to remove a "frozen in place" bushing without doin damage to the threads etc.??
