Ah, I see the difference in the dispersion cones. Yes, mine are not drilled through for the removal tool, just dimples. Finally got my cones and blocks out -- bolting them down to a piece of 3/4" (20 mm) ply using the three cap screws that hold the group together and a set of nuts and washers, then clamping the board to the workbench. Lots of heat helped "melt" the muck. Once warmed up enough, there wasn't a lot of force required. In retrospect, I wish I had used a 3 mm bolt for the pin to remove the cone as the 4 mm one did cause some damage, both being too big, and with some slippage. Pressing down on the end of my cone-removal tool, which pushed the bolt more firmly into the dimple, I think helped removing the second one. RAL 2002 on the upper frame was a nice match to the side panels I have, though, like you, I need to go back to the powder coater. Using black hammertone on the rest of the frame was a "win-win" as it did a good job hiding the irregularity left by corrosion, especially on the upper back rail, which serves as a drip/drain tray for the cups. I hope yours is cooperating for you!
