What is the best way to remove ferrules from the back of carbob bolts?
I'm having a heck of a time with it.

I've never been able to remove inserts that were put in with Cyanoacrylate glue that was applied properly. I've had some success with epoxy glues by heating a field tip screwed in. There is a fine line between success and damaging the shaft.
Some people just like stepping on rakes
