[Amps] FW: 4CX1000 removal - Disregard

[Carl]

I use an oil filter wrench when I want to remove the 3CX1000A7 in the 2M amp 
to blow the fins out or swap in one of the spares to keep them happy.

some one else might have this problem.

Try one of the thin rubber disks used to get a better grip when opening
jars with the screw on tops.
