Removing a snug saddle?
I'd like to remove the saddle in my GPC-35E but it is a very snug fit. It is not glued in as it was a bone drop in replacement I bought from Maury's and installed myself. After a few years I've decided I'd like to lower it just a wee bit, but today when I gave it my first attempt, I failed to successfully remove it. I was using a soft rag and small pliers but couldn't get a good grip that way, so I tried using a very tiny flathead screwdriver at the end of the saddle, but I couldn't perceive any noticeable movement there either. I'm stumped.
Anyone with any thoughts on next steps?
