I find a pointed probe, such as the ones that come with continuity
testers (buzz boxes) are QUITE effective and less likely to snap the box.
This method is also effective for replacing the 6-finger hub black
inserts with 12-finger hub inserts. I found that the 6-finger hub
on my CATS album wouldn't hold on to the disk! The only difference in
the double sections are the double middle hinge instead of the tray.
By canabalizing parts from replacement cases the hub sections
and top covers can be replaced on double sets ( I broke the lid
on my Star Wars double set. A testimony to CD's. Although the
drop to the asphalt road cracked the case and sprung the CD on to the
road, the minute scratches were few and inaudible. Imagine the effect on
an LP!)
