I just popped out and reset every insert in my recently acquired World Beauties.

I didn't break any, even a little. Some were in tight. I have used the dowel/socket/hammer method in the past and broken inserts.

My latest method uses a smallish socket of the type you whack with a hammer on the underside. On the top side I use a very oversized socket with an ID larger than the OD of the insert. Then, and this is the important part - I PRESS it out with a 12" c clamp. This provide a measured, constant pressure and works quite well. Since the clamp is so large, it can reach. Also, it has some spinginess to it, so it sort of stores the clamping energy and releases it with a small pop.

As I mentioned, 100% good to date.
