Martin, There isn't a lot of room between keycaps and thin-nosed pliers won't give you a very good grip on the cap or very good leverage, either. If you don't have a keycap puller, which has little J hooks on either side, you can usually get away with using two flat-bladed screwdrivers, one on either side of the cap, to pry upwards. Be careful to only insert them far enough to catch the underside of the keycap. You want to apply even and upwards force on the key cap from its underside to separate it from its stem. You don't want to put sideways force for fear of snapping the stem and you don't want to crack or crush the cap trying to grip it, as you might with pliers. hth -CH- <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> Virus-free. www.avg.com <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>
