I swear, I've been plagued with obstacles during this entire project. The latest obstacle arose when drilling out the socket. I saved the drilling for last, thinking it would be a snap. It turned out to be an order of magnitude more difficult than shaving down the socket's diameter. I broke a new drill bit trying to get through the socket's two internal partitions. That was disheartening. I'm not equipped properly. Clearly, a drill press is needed, and I'd like to have one someday, but for now I think I'm going to take the socket to a local machine shop and have them do the honors. I know those guys. I'll take a short case of Coors with me.
