Hi all,
So tail rot is nothing new. Popped the head off and tossed out the washer and started cleaning the hair with nail polish remover. HOWEVER, the little metal clip itself is rusted. So I grabbed some pliers and tried to pry it off. It started to loosen, but snapped several hairs in the process!
I stopped there before I made the whole thing worse - I don't want to rehair her after all!
I guess I can practice on some G3's - they have the same clip, but in the meantime, any thoughts about how to get that stupid piece off safely?
