I'm assuming the plastic sleeves are still in the '72 beam. If they 
are not, this becomes a more difficult problem, and I would need the 
old plastic sleeves, which I don't have yet. I'd also probably need 
some slightly different tools. I think it could still be done, but it 
would take longer and your car would have to sit there while we 
prepared for that job.

Those plastic sleeves are so hard to get out that they must still be 
there, but it's possible that they are damaged. That would be fatal 
to this beam.
