junk yard sewer hole protector fitting problem

[william butler]

I decided to fit a sewer protector to my junkyard pinball wonderfully restored by chris b pinballs some 12 years ago.Easy job?Everything good till i came to remove the left side post .Could not get it out even using mole grips to get it turning but not budging.I DECIDED TO BYPASS THE PROBLEM BY HACKSAWING THE left side hole section and fitting the protector secured at the right side.Poor shabby fix but better than no protector.The question i am askig is how do you get this post out surely not having to remove the subway?I will buy a new protector and fit it properly when i get this pesky post out.

is the post secured with a nut underneath the playfield?

 

[william butler]

it must be but how do you get at it?Perhaps a small set of mole grips through the side gap?

On further examination of under the playfield it is obvious I will have to remove the subway.No shortcuts

Nothing unusual about having to take stuff off to get to other stuff.

Thats my workshop that is!!

Yeah - generally when doing protector installations - I usually do a strip down, rerubber and full clean!
None of them seem to be 5 minute jobs. They look like it. But they are not.
