Did you ever see Tubs’ video on unsticking rings?

Now that you mention it, I have seen that, and must’ve subconsciously remembered and used the technique. The QD rings had closed so tightly that there was no gap to even get them started, so I resorted to heat . Some wiggling with a dental pic and finally 5 out of 6 came apart enough to get in there with a jewelers screwdriver like Tubs’ is using. Once started I had to resist the urge to rush. Paying attention to where the ring springs up, and tapping it there helped to direct the force to where it is stuck. Have to push on the loose end of the ring so that it crowns up a bit, then tap it there.
