I had the same problem while restoring my '66B. To solve it I had a friend
fashion a
device similar to a dent puller but with a tapped hole (I don't remember the
thread
size) in the end. It worked like a charm!
If you can't come up with a similar tool yourself, maybe I could send you the
tool (if
you promise to return it!) if you could come up with some way of covering the
shipping
costs. It weighs a couple of pounds.
Let me know,
