Next, wedge the flapper upright. You can use whatever you'd like, I chose the handle of a hammer. Grind away 1/3 of the flapper-(picture 4)


End Result-(picture 5)


Angle the part of the flapper that was cut towards the bottom of the housing-(picture 6)


Insert your choice of punch into the hole left from the flapper sinking down into the housing.-(picture 7)


5 Swift hits with the hammer, and you're done.-(picture 8)
