Be very careful when using the "drill" method. I tried it on my vintage Spirit and pretty much ruined him. You are supposed to use the drill with it set to reverse just so the screw doesn't get tighter and go in deeper. Well I did that, but I must have been pushing down too hard or something because the screw still went in deeper. I ended up cracking the post the holds the screw inside the torso as well as the tube and hole the screw fits through on the back of the torso. Luckily I didn't crack the whole thing. After I replaced the O-ring I had to put the screw back in at an angle to catch whatever was left of the post that holds the screw. You can't notice it from the front of Spirit, but his back looks ugly inside the hole. In my opinion he is ruined. Hopefully one day I can find a nice looking replacement torso without any damage, paint lost or discoloration.
