Jammed IF slug

[mike bryce]

hair dryer!

yup, the idea is to heat the coil form up so it will expand just a tad. Then
the core can be unscrewed. I've used this many a time and has always worked
for me. if the coil has a metal can around it, you of course have to remove
the it, you want to heat just the coil form.
