Subject: [CR] WTK: Saddle rail removal trick???


Wanting to know if anyone is aware of a way to remove the one piece rails on plastic shell saddles??? I thought that maybe the leather was put on after the rails were inserted but in several examples I have, the leather had to have been installed before the rails, as it goes underneath at the nose. A sample of the rail type I am referring to can be seen in the attached photo link. Tony Colgrave suggested possibly a jig, but was unsure.
