Hey ACCOBRA,
Thanks very much for the offer, I will probably take you up on that...I'm going to try and yank (literally) the old tubes out in the next few days. Art Stephens pulled his tubes out and recalls that they were tack welded in. If they were spot welded in I should be able to find the weld on the outside of the tunnel and drill through the weld to release the bracket. I'm getting the feeling that this might be a viable option. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again!
