Hi Curt,

Gee, if you can get that sort of access I've got another suggestion.
You've seen those really neat propane torches used to burn out weeds?
A lot of engine guys use 'em for preheating bearings prior to pouring
babbit.  Well just fire one of those puppys up and use it instead of the
leaf blower described below.  Worst case?  Call the fire a tragic accident
and use the insurance proceeds to buy a Jag.  8-))

See ya,  Arnie
