Gits oiler, how to remove it?

Sit down and let that thought pass . OK , that was funny .

The apron on my south bend was missing the Oiler that has the extension.
I decided to solder a tube on to make the extension.
Don’t try it, the Git’s Oiler was there one second then it was a puddle the next.
I think I used a press fit and J-B weld.

Gits oilers are not now the same quality they used to be. I try to keep the ones I have in good condition, and don't tweak the hinges. As long as the lid still covers the hole properly, I keep on using them. Even after 70 years, they still do now what they did then. They are easy to remove from machines, just not in any condition for reuse.
