Using the door frame as a fulcrum to leverage the rod

Answer

Using the door frame or a padded edge as a fulcrum provides mechanical advantage and fine motor control when manipulating a long access rod through a small opening.

Question 5

Why might a PDR technician warm a plastic interior panel before attempting to remove it?
