<x-charset iso-8859-1>Welcome to the world of GEX. I hate to hear all of these stories as it lessons the T3 experience... but they are reality and if we get the word out it will help. I think, however, that the pulling stud problem is not only due to the fact that case savers arent properly installed, but also to the fact that sometimes cases that have had some trauma in their life (usually overheating) are used in the rebuild. Know the case your using... and its history.
