Most of the nuts came out with minimal force, but the last one just spins in place. I tried rubber gloves, painter's tape, and duct tape to get a better grip. I'd rather not cut a slot in the domed nut if there's another good strategy.

The rest of the restoration underway:

Ah, that's super fair. Great way to look at it. I can't figure out how to look at my old comments so I have no idea what I said to you, but a vague memory.

Lord only knows what the other weird shit I do that works for me and wouldn't for anyone else is.

I still make sure all my hacksaws cut on the pull, lol

I may have to give that a try, stringing a hacksaw backwards.
