    Yes. This is my first and only crackout, and I used a steak knife to cut down through the hard plastic on the edges, then I put one end in a vice and bent it back and forth until it broke. It took me about half an hour, mostly for the sawing.

    I was wondering how you did that. Thanks!

    Mostly in my bench vise. I just take my time and go slow. No heavy equipment or power tools!
