Default Classic problem..Broken BP knee gib

The maint manager of a largish factory..a good friend of mine
actually, died unexectedly a couple weeks ago. Damnit.

But one of the unfinished projects he left behind, is a BP with a
jammed/broken gib in the knee.

From what I gather..its jammed really good. When the facilities
manager asked me if I wanted to take a shot at it...he pointed out
that there is about 3/4" of gib sticking out of the bottom of the
knee..which is NOT a good thing.

Anyone have any secret tips, suggestions/angles of attack on how to
get the bitch out?

Currently they have the screw boss unbolted and hanging..so the table
is being entirely held up by the gib.

This is a bitch of a task at the best of times, so before I tackled
it...(either I fix it and they pay..or I dont fix it and they dont
pay..bet between me and the manager...sigh) I thought Id ask about any
tricks that I may not be aware of. But Im obligated to try. Shrug.

Thanks in advance
