If you don't mind, could you please explain to me how to get the core out of the moderator? I asked Brian and he said it was pressed together and held with o-rings. I've looked over the EVP, and I can see why the bolts won't come out, but the back of it seems like it's glued in. Looking down inside, there seems to be glue residue around the edge of the core also. If I need to put my purse down fine, but I don't want to damage it if I can get away with it. A replacement ain't cheap. Thanks in advance.
