....I don't know what kind of a Dremel tool you are refering to, but the one I use is quite capable of doing small, tedious work in tight areas, provided the handler uses a modicum of common sense. I also previously cautioned CC about keeping away from the solid contact area at the back of the lug.... was there some other area of the lug recess you were/are concerned with?
.... I'm glad the tape came out for him the way it did, but I will solidly stand by my statement that proper use of the proper Dremel tools/techniques is perfectly acceptable with proper instruction, and even a little extra clearance in the areas that were hogged out and taped to provide clearance in the first place won't hurt a thing. "Shoving a Dremel tool down there"...really?
