Quoted from jgadzia:

i have a question about the metal ball guides that are hammered into the board. Can i clear around them or am i going to have to pop those out. And if i pop them out from the underside, will they just hammer back in when i am done with the clear coating. I am worried if one gets bent will i have problems replacing it?

take them out, gently pry out from above the topside. Clear, then carefully redrill the holes with a sharp bit to remove any clear that got in the holes. replace the guides on the field.

the holes generally do not go all the way through for wireforms. plus if they do putting a punch up through the hole will likely make the hole bigger, which would be a major problem. Like mentioned above a small piece of wood, even cardboard on top of the PF, screwdriver goes under the wireform and on top of the wood (so you don't dig into the PF). Do this near each end, not in the middle. safest to lift one side a bit then the other and go back and forth walking it up and out. Rather than pulling one side all the way out and risking bending the wire.

Quoted from jgadzia:

so when i go to put them back in, do you just lightly hammer them back in or do i need to put some type of adhesive in the holes?

no adhesive, press in by hand to start. if you cant go all the way by hand (likely) use a block and a hammer, lightly, to tap them down

Quoted from jgadzia:

Ok thanks for everones help. I got all the metal rails off except the two by the drain. These are tight against the playfield. How do you suggest i get the off? Also i noticed before removing these rails toward the top of the playfield the holes are very close to the edge ans there is some splintering. I am worried that when i put these back in the wood could split. I was thinking of putting a thin layer of epoxy on the wood edge to prevent it from breaking out when i tap them back in?
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

you take off the biff bars the same way, just use a really thin block to get them started and use a very small screwdriver to get started. The wood wont split putting the wires back in, the holes are already there. just drill them to remove any clear that gets in them, do not make the holes bigger.
