     I've had the ABS ones on my car for about a year now.  I put them on 
     TIGHT to try to make them 'little bastard proof' (sorry if I just 
     offended any little bastards).  Anyway, after reading about Duane's 
     siezure, I decided to check mine.  Came right off, no problem.  So, it 
     looks like ABS is the way to go.  Who would have thought that cheap 
     ABS plastic would be preferable to an alloy?
