Okay, screw driver, chisel, both have a flat edge. My bad. Where do I buy a wood chisel?

^ Yes, really. Between my wife, 4 kids and when I'm not in Afghanistan I don't have time to just drive around looking for a wood chisel when I could just ask and get an answer from a helping individual about where I could go and grab one without spending my entire day driving around. I've never done any kind of wood work and wouldn't have a clue where to go for something like that. Thank you.

LOLZ, I gotcha.

BTW, you don't need to slam on the manifold ribs too hard, it's not like carving a tombstone.

With a nice sharp chisel, the ribs will shave off nicely.

What branch are you in that takes you to Afghanistan?

I knocked the ribs off with a hammer when I had my old 98z. They come off easy.

^ Yeah, sort of. I don't get to fly them. I just fix everything the pilots break. It's like fixing a computer though.

Used a Hammer and Screw diver here. I also had to use a dremol with cutting disk as some of the ribs didnt break off completely.
