I then started thinking (not always a good idea) what if I damaged the threads on the lower. I was going to take a finger drill of proper size, get rid of the dimple. Then with the resources offered here I thought I would ask. Again thanks for the replies. charlee .

You do you but the proper way to remove the castle nut is turning with a proper wrench. It will come right off. It's been done that way for decades. Good Luck. John Burns I have all the sources.
