Yeah, I knew the trick about soaking them in gasoline, and did that. They still
just....split.  

The old ones I was able to rip out with a small screwdriver and needlenose pliers.

I'm just hoping I just got a bad batch.  I ordered 12 more from Adirondack;
hopefully they will get here tomorrow and of that dozen, 4 will work, otherwise
ONCE AGAIN I show up to Cincy in not-a-Scirocco.
